“Trials are not the reason to give up, but a challenge to improve ourselves, mistakes are not an excuse to back-out but an inspiration to move forward.”
Tim Hardaway, one third of the NBA famous RUN-TMC from the Golden State Warriors committed a major boo boo in February this year. During an interview, he said he didn't like gay people. A strong statement because I assume about 25% of the worldwide population belongs to that gender. The statement definitely earned their ire. Since then he has “recovered” and brought back the trust in some way by doing voluntary work for the underprivileged.
Senator Miriam Defensor Santiago also had her share of mishap recently. She took potshots at the Chinese during one interview. She called them intsik on national TV and boasted that the Chinese invented corruption. Strong words indeed reason why the Filipino-Chinese lambasted the feisty senator. She immediately wrote a letter of apology to the Chinese Embassy and publicly apologized the day after she delivered her infamous line saying that she was under a lot of stress.
One of the biggest trials of my professional life is currently in play. I hope it ends soon and I get to already view the closing credits. I'd rather not detail how it came about but would like to focus on my life learning and these are humility and tact. With all the blessing that is coming our way this year: a new car, travel with family, real property investments and achievement of our children (B5 is rank 1 in school and MC was accelerated), any normal person has the tendency to forget where he came from hence the timing of the trial is just right. There are no regrets that this happened, apologies have been delivered to the proper persons and as Julia Fordham said in her song "time heals all wounds."
