Several years ago, while attending a communication course, I experienced a most unusual process. The instructor asked us to list 1 in our past that we felt 2 of, regretted, or incomplete about and read our lists aloud.
This seemed like a very private process, but there's always some 3 soul in the crowd who will volunteer. The instructor then suggested that we find ways to 4 people, or take some action to right any wrong doings. I was seriously wondering how this could ever improve my communication.
Then the man next to me raised his hand and volunteered this story:" Making my list. I remembered an incident from high school. I grew up in a small town. There was a Sheriff 5 of us kids liked. One night, my two buddies(伙伴) and I decided to play a trick on him.
After drinking a few beers, we climbed the tall water tank in the middle of the town, and wrote on the tank in bright red paint: Sheriff Brown is a idiot. The next day, almost the whole town saw our glorious(光荣的) sign. Within two hours, Sheriff Brown had us in his office. My friends told the truth but I lied. No one ever found out.
Nearly 20 years later, Sheriff Brown's name appears on my list. I didn't even know if he was still 6 . Last weekend, I dialed the information in my hometown and found there was a Sheriff Brown still listed. I tried his number. After a few 7 ,I heard," Hello?"I said," Sheriff Brown?" Paused(停顿)." Yes."" Well, this is Jimmy Calkins."" And I want you to know that I did it." Paused."I knew it!" he yelled back. We had a good laugh and a lively discussion. His closing words were," Jimmy, I always felt bad for you 8 your buddies got it off their chest, but you were carrying it 9 all these years. I want to thank you for calling me... for your sake."
Jimmy inspired me to 10 all 101 items on my list within two years, and I always remember what I learned from the course: It's never too late to right the past wrong doings.
