When I started using Pen in my primary school, and I made a mistake, I would try hard to erase
it. Sometimes I use chalk, but it later reappears.
So I began to use saliva, it worked only to leave holes in my book.
My teachers then used to beat me for being outrageously dirty. But all I tried to do was cover my errors.
One day, a kind hearted teacher who loves me so much called me aside.
He said: "Anytime you make a mistake, just cross it and move on. Trying to erase it would only damage your book".
I told him "But, I don't want people to see my mistake" I protested.
He laughed at me and said
"Trying to erase it will make more people know about your mess, and the stigma is for life"
Have you made a mistake, cross it and move on.
Don't expose yourself as a result of trying to cover your mistakes.
Have a blessed day!
