Ability to move on

When I started using Biro in my primary school,
and I made a mistake, I would try hard to erase it.
Sometimes I would use chalk, but later it would
reappear. 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 loved me so much called me
aside.
"Bobo, 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.
Don't try to create more irredeemable errors by
trying within your power to erase it, because
Mistake is bound to happened but the ability,
strength and power to cross it and move on
will definitely differentiate you from failure
