Learn from our mistakes...

The SMS on the left with words of appreciation was from someone whom I have personally helped when she committed a criminal offence. I just hope that she would be given a chance to turn over a new leaf. The message on the right was my reply to her. The name was erased to protect her privacy. The message typed in Chinese Language literally means "Thank you for your help, for without your help, I would be at a loss as to what to do...."

To err is human, we tend to make mistakes, but the important thing is to learn from our mistakes and do not repeat them. No matter how lowly we may be, I think it is important to work hard, earn an honest living and live an honest life.
