    People live a lifetime, and they can't be changed because of a mistake. Don't be easily discouraged and compromised. Today is a holiday, all mistakes are an essential part of life, but also for that more wonderful tomorrow.

    Life is always good and bad, half right and wrong, and intersecting. There is no need to be upset if you have done something wrong, and there is no need to panic if you have taken the wrong path. There will always be ups and downs in the long journey of life, and there will always be regrets about mistakes.

    We should be glad because on the way forward, every mistake is another growth in life. And we can only find our own correct direction through continuous mistakes and explorations.
