A WEEK AGO,
On a Sunday, i was about to go cycling with my son. As i carry my son's bicycle, in a rush manner, i accidentally broke my car's windscreen. Ooucchh! My heart grieves a little as it was a 6 months old car. After some background check, i found out that i need to spend certain amount of money to get it fixed.
Later i realized that this amount is my tuition fees for the following life lessons :
1. Do not rush, in whatever you do.
2. Everyone make mistakes. Which human being does not make mistakes?
To err is human; to forgive, divine.

3. Do not be harsh with those who make mistakes
Since I was not angry with my own mistake, i shall not be angry with other people's mistakes. Most mistakes are unintentional and everyone should be given a second or third chance to learn from their mistakes.
4. It is better to break my windscreen than to break the heart of my loved ones.
I can spend some money to replace the broken windscreen although it will hurt my wallet, however, i will NEVER be able to fix a broken heart of a human soul which will be traumatized forever.
So, always be wise and discern the right thing to do or say.
I think this tuition fees is well spent after all.
