Several years ago, while attending a communication course, I experienced a most unusual process. The instructor asked us to list 41 in our past that we felt 42 of, regretted, or incomplete about and then read our lists aloud.
This seemed like a very 43 process, but there’s always some 44 soul in the crowd who will volunteer. The instructor then 45 that we find ways to 46 people, or take some action to correct any wrong doings. I was seriously wondering how this could ever 47 my communication.
Then the man next to me raised his hand and volunteered this story: Making my 48 , I remembered an incident from high school. I grew up in a small town. There was a Sheriff who 49 of us kids liked. One night, my two buddies and I decided to play a 50 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 s.o.b.(畜生). The next day, almost the whole town saw our glorious 51 . Within two hours, Sheriff Brown had us in his office. My friends told the truth but I lied. No one 52 found out.
Nearly 20 years later, Sheriff Brown’s name 53 on my list. I didn’t even know if he was still 54 . Last weekend, I dialed the information in my hometown and found there was a Roger Brown still listed. I tried his number. After a few 55 , I heard, “Hello?” I said, “Sheriff Brown?”Paused. “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 56 discussion. His closing words were: “Jimmy, I always felt bad for you 57 your buddies got it off their chest, but you were carrying it 58 all these years. I want to thank you for calling me...for your sake.”
Jimmy inspired me to 59 all the items on my list within two years, and I always remember what I learned from the course: It’s never too late to 60 the past wrongdoings.
