“Everyone makes mistakes in life, but that doesn’t mean they have to pay for them for the rest of their lives. Sometimes wise people make foolish(愚蠢的) choices. It doesn’t mean they’re foolish; it means they’re improving!”

A father was sitting at his desk and looking at his bills when his little son rushed in and said, “Dad, because today is your birthday and you’re 40 years old, I’m going to give you 40 kisses, one for each year!” When the boy started kissing, the father shouted, “Oh, Andrew, don’t do it now. I’m too busy!”
The boy soon became silent as tears(眼泪) fell down from his big blue eyes. Feeling sorry, the father said, “You can finish the kisses later .”
The boy said nothing but quietly walked away. That evening the father said, “Come and finish the kisses now, Andrew!” But the boy didn’t.
