When I started using Biro 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 called me
aside. "And say, anytime you make a mistake,
just cross it and move on. Trying to erase it
would only damage your book". "But, I don't
want people to see my mistake and laugh at
me", I protested.
"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.
