Yesterday whilst I was waiting for the train I overheard an adult saying to a child “Mistakes are normal and part of life, top beating yourself up about it, you have to learn from it and move on. You need to keep a dairy of things that happened to you so you can go back and read them and learn from them” I was so inspired by this, that when the train came, I decided to sit opposite them .
From their conversation, I realised they where father and son, and it brought tears to my eyes as it reminded me of my father who dies 31 years ago, and I miss him every day and wished we had moments like these when he could have imparted some wisdom to me. This proud dad continued to encourage his son, who was listening to his dad and asking questions along the way. ,
