without a coat. It could be minus 20 degrees centigrade and there"d be Dad, removing snow, or perhaps
chopping some wood-his coat thrown aside-wearing a shirt, a cap, and a pair of gloves.
"Aren"t you cold, Dad?" I"d ask. "No," Dad would reply. "I"m not cold-working too hard to be cold."
Many times I wondered whether my father was an extremely tough man, or whether he was foolish.
One time when I was quite young, perhaps five or so, I went ice fishing with Dad. It was a bright,
clear day-and bitterly cold.
After we"d been out on the ice for a little while, my feet started getting cold.
"Daddy, my feet are cold." I said.
"Yeah, it"s cold out here today," he replied.
"Tell you what," he said. "Walk around. Make some circles in the snow. See how many different
patterns you can make. That will get your feet warm."
Now, I was just a little girl at the time but I remember thinking, "How in the world will walking around
in the snow make my feet warm? Dad must be out of mind."
But he was my father, after all. I made circles in the snow. I made squares. Pretty soon I was having
so much fun making patterns in the snow. I forgot about my feet being cold.
Now, all these years later, I know, too, from personal experience how my father was able to take his
coat off and work outside in the winter wearing just a shirt, a cap and gloves. Because I do it, too. "Aren"t
you cold?" my husband asked one winter day. "No," I replied. "I"m not cold-working too hard to be cold."
I hope my husband has decided I"m both tough and smart. But I guess quite a bit of the time he thinks
I"m foolish.
Wherever Dad is in that great big farm in the sky-I"m sure he can"t help but smile whenever I take my
coat off while I"m working outside in the winter.

grew and, on the day he retired, they rushed to cut the lock. There they found a sheet of paper that read,

Are you afraid to make a mistake? If you made mistakes recently, maybe you need to hear about Roy
Riegels.
The story is told about Roy and the 1929 Rose Bowl championship football game between Georgia Tech
and the university of California. Shortly before halftime, Roy Riegels made a huge mistake. He got the ball for
California and somehow became confused and started running in the wrong direction! One of his teammates
tackled (抢断) him after he had run 656 yards, just before he would have scored for the opposing team. Of
course, Georgia Tech gained a distinct (明显的) advantage through the error.
After the first half was over, Riegels sat in a corner, put his face in his hands and wept.
Coach Nibbs Price struggled with what to do with Roy. He finally looked at the team and said simply,
"Men, the same team that played the first half will start the second."
All the players except Roy went to the field. Though the coach looked back and called to him again, he
remained seated in the corner. Coach Price went to him and said, "Roy, didn"t you hear me?"
"Coach," he said, "I can"t do it. I"ve ruined you; I"ve ruined the school; I"ve ruined myself."
But the coach Price put his hand on Riegels" shoulder and said, "Roy, get up and go on back; the game is
only half over."
Roy Riegels went back and those Tech men will tell you that they have never seen a man play football as
well as Roy Riegels played that second half.
The next time you make a mistake, it might be good to remember the ABC method.
A-Acknowledge (admit) your error and accept responsibility for it. Don"t try to fix the blame on other
people or circumstances (客观环境). When you fix the blame, you never fix the problem.
B-Be gentle with yourself. The game is only half over. This is not the first mistake you ever made, nor
will it be the last. You are still a good and caring person. Besides, later you may laugh at the mistake, so try to
lighten up a bit now.
C-Correct it and move on. Correcting mistakes may also mean to amends (弥补过错), if necessary.
Now, go make your mistakes. And if you practice the ABC method, you"ll live to laugh about many of
them.
