Several years ago , while attending a communication course , I experienced a most unusual process . The instructor asked us to list 36 in our past that we felt 37 of , regretted , or incomplete about and read our lists aloud.

This seemed like a very 38 process , but there’s always some 39 soul in the crowd who will volunteer . The instructor then 40 that we find ways to 41 people , or take some action to right any wrong doings . I was seriously wondering how this could ever 42 my communication .

Then the man next to me raised his hand and volunteered this story : “Making my 43 , I remembered an incident from high school . I grew up in a small town . There was a Sheriff 44 of us kids liked . One night , my two buddies (伙伴)and I decided to play a 45 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 an S.O.B. The next day , almost the whole town saw our glorious 46 . within two hours , Sheriff Brown had us to his office . My friends told the truth but I lied . No one 47 found out .”

“Nearly 20 years later , Sheriff Brown’s name 48 on my list . I didn’t even know if he was still 49 . 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 50 , 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 51 discussion . His closing words were “ Jimmy , I always felt bad for you 52 you

buddies got it off their chest , but you were carrying it 53 all these years . I want to thank you for calling me … for you sake .”

Jimmy inspired me to 54 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 55 the past wrong doing .
