Socrates once said: Life without introspection is not worth living. Therefore, regular introspection can avoid deviating from the right path. The following is my carefully collected stories of celebrity apologies, hoping to help you.
The story of celebrity apology 1 Comrade Bethune's great spirit of selfless dedication is an important embodiment of his extreme responsibility for his work. Extreme responsibility for work runs through Bethune's every move, even his every word.
Once, Bethune saw a little nurse dressing the wounded in the ward and found that the medicine in the medicine bottle was not the same as the label name on the medicine bottle, that is to say, the medicine in the medicine bottle was not the right medicine. How is that possible? If you use it wrong, something will happen. Bethune severely criticized the little nurse and told her that doing things so carelessly would kill her.
Bethune scraped the label off the bottle with a knife and said, "We are responsible for our comrades. It won't happen again." The little nurse was criticized, her face flushed and tears were coming out. Bethune was very angry, but he controlled his emotions and said, "Please forgive my bad temper, but I can't help doing sanitary work seriously and strictly!" "
Afterwards, Bethune suggested to the political commissar that only by strengthening education and improving the sense of responsibility of the staff can the work be done well.
Bethune not only treated the wounded with superb medical skills, but also took the initiative to establish a model hospital, personally compiled teaching materials, personally made medical equipment, personally taught doctors of the Eighth Route Army, and trained a large number of medical personnel for the Eighth Route Army. This also shows that he is extremely responsible for his work and tries his best to improve it.
One morning, Shen Congwen slipped out of the classroom and went to the village to watch a play alone. The puppet show that day was The Monkey King Crossing the Flame Mountain. Shen Congwen was very happy and burst into laughter. He didn't go back to school until the sun went down. At this time, all the students went home from school.
The next day, as soon as Shen Congwen entered the school gate, the teacher sternly asked him why he was absent from class. He blushed and faltered. The teacher knelt down under the tree in anger and scolded loudly: "Look, this nanmu tree is growing every day, but you just don't want to make progress, and you are willing to be a worthless dwarf."
The next day, the teacher called him again and said to him, "Everyone is studying hard, but you secretly went to the theatre. Although I humiliated you yesterday, it was for your own good. Only by respecting yourself can one gain the respect of others. " The teacher's words moved Shen Congwen to tears. He secretly vowed that he must remember this lesson and be a respected person. Since then, Shen Congwen has been strict with himself and became a famous writer when he grew up.
The story of celebrity apology 3. Einstein, a world-class scientist, felt guilty for "making the biggest mistake". What did Einstein do wrong?
19 17, that is, the year after he founded the general theory of relativity, Einstein and Dutch physicist de sitter independently studied this work to explain the stability of the universe. They found that the cosmic solution of the gravitational field equation is dynamic rather than static. In other words, the universe either expands or contracts. Because of the prejudice of physical intuition and the error of mathematical operation, Einstein never gave up the concept of static universe. In order to get the static solution of the universe model, he did not hesitate to introduce a "universe term" into the equation. This conclusion accords with the cosmological principle at that time and the known observation facts. However, in 1922, American scholar Friedman found another dynamic solution of this equation; In 1927, Belgian scholar Lemaistre got the same solution independently. From a mathematical point of view, it is proved that the universe is not static, but expands or contracts uniformly. However, Einstein still refused to accept this result and insisted on his view of static universe model.
Two years later, according to the observation of distant nebulae, American astronomer Hubble found that the spectral lines emitted by distant stars had a red shift, and the spectral lines of stars farther away from the earth had a greater red shift. This shows that the star is moving away from the earth. Hubble's discovery supported Friedman's dynamic universe model and changed Einstein's view of the universe. Einstein called the mistake of sticking to the static universe model "the biggest mistake in his life" and withdrew his criticism of Friedman and others.
Later, on his 70th birthday, he said to his good friend Sollovan, "I don't think any concept in my works is firmly tenable, and I'm not sure that the road I'm taking is generally correct." This sentence largely contains his mistakes in 19 17. A world-famous great scientist can bravely admit his mistakes and humbly review his achievements that have been recognized and praised by the world, which shows that Einstein is realistic and respects science. This is why Einstein was able to achieve great success.
The story of celebrity apology 4 Xu Beihong studied in France in his early years, and his character modeling pays attention to realistic performance, especially good at sketching. For Chinese painting, he advocates reform: "Western painting can be absorbed and integrated." The combination of Chinese and western techniques has formed his unprecedented realistic painting style.
I heard an old man say that once, Xu Beihong was commenting on this painting at an art exhibition, and an old man from the countryside suddenly came up to him and said, "Sir, the duck you drew is not right. You drew a duck. How can a duck's tail be so long? " When you look at it, it turns out to be Xu's new work "Writing Dongpo Chunjiang Plumbing Poetry", in which the tail feathers of ducks are curled like rings. The villagers said that drakes have bright feathers and curly tails; The female feather of the duck has a short brown tail, which is wrongly drawn.
Xu admitted his negligence in sketching, expressed deep gratitude and retired.
The story of celebrity apology 5 One day. Confucius led students such as Luz, Zigong and Yan Yuan to give lectures. When teachers and students came to Haizhou, the sky suddenly thundered and thundered, and there was a storm. An old local fisherman took them to a cave for shelter from the rain.
This cave faces the sea, where old fishermen usually rest. Confucius felt a little bored in the cave, so he went to the mouth of the cave and watched the sea view in the rain. When he looked at it, he felt that the poem was full of enthusiasm and became a couplet: the wind blew a thousand waves in the sea; The rain left thousands of pits on the beach.
The old fisherman listened to the busy way: "sir, what you said is wrong!" Is there only a thousand waves in the whole brain, and there are only 10 thousand blockhouses with no more or less? Have you counted them, sir? "
Confucius felt that there was something in the old fisherman's life, so he asked, "Since it is inappropriate, what is appropriate?"
The old fisherman said unhurriedly, "We were born by the water and grew up at sea. We often sing some fishing songs. Whether it's a song or a poem, although it doesn't have to be real fish or shrimp, it can be reasonable and vivid. In my opinion, your two sentences should be changed to this:' the wind blows on the sea and the rain pits on the beach.' There are countless waves and pits that make sense. "
Lutz caught fire on the side and said to the old fisherman, "Alas, saints write poems, how can you change them indiscriminately!" "
Confucius shouted, "Lutz! Be rude! "
The old fisherman patted Luz on the shoulder and said, "A saint has the knowledge of a saint, but it is not necessarily better than others in everything. For example, how did you catch this fish? " In a word, Lutz was speechless.
The old fisherman looked at Lutz's embarrassment and made no answer. He flew down the mountain, jumped on the fishing boat, cast his net and began to fish.
Confucius watched the old fisherman's skillful fishing movements and thought about his ways of talking about the sea, changing poems, talking about "saints" and blaming his son. Suddenly, he found that he had made a big mistake, so he called his disciples together and said seriously, "I told you before, you were born to know." This sentence is wrong! Everyone should remember: knowing is knowing, not knowing is not knowing, knowing is also! "
Say, easy to sing a poem:
Climbing the mountain to see the sea, the plug suddenly opened;
If the sage is wrong, stop wandering!
The story of celebrity apology Daisy is a girl who lives near Trafalgar Square in central London, England. She just turned 12 this year.
From March this year 13, she witnessed a huge building in the square. This is an Olympic countdown clock, made of steel and 8 meters high. 5 meters, 5 meters wide and weighing about 4 tons, it took 10 people two days to complete the assembly, and the opening time was calculated in four time units: day, hour, minute and second. /kloc-On the evening of 0/4, BOCOG unveiled the countdown clock to celebrate the 500th anniversary of the opening ceremony.
At noon on June 5, 65438, Daisy went to school as usual. Passing Trafalgar Square, she found that the giant clock had actually stopped, and the time was fixed at 500 days, 7 hours, 6 minutes and 56 seconds from the opening ceremony. The countdown clock for the Olympic Games broke down in less than a day, which is a shame for London, which is about to host the 20 12 Olympic Games. So Daisy called the Olympic Organizing Committee directly after asking her father for help. The staff of the Olympic Organizing Committee were arrogant, thinking that it was just a minor problem and not worth making a fuss about, and did not promise to send someone to repair it immediately, and then hung up the phone quickly.
Daisy was very angry. She suddenly remembered the newspaper and decided to use the power of the media. She bought a copy of the London Times at a nearby newsstand and broke the news to the media according to the news hotline provided by the newspaper. The media immediately sent reporters to the scene to confirm the facts, captured the photos of the clock at that time in time, and immediately contacted sebastian coe, chairman of the Olympic Organizing Committee, and sent him the photos. Sebastian immediately arranged personnel to go to the scene to confirm, and asked the watch manufacturer Omega to make a reasonable explanation. Omega sent three technicians to repair it. During maintenance, the clock display time changed from 500 days to 20 1 day, then to 208 days, and even a white screen appeared. After several hours of hard work, the countdown clock finally returned to normal.
Subsequently, Omega issued a statement: The clock stopped because of a technical failure.
Starting the countdown clock is the tradition of every Olympic Games, which indicates that the preparations for the Olympic Games have entered the countdown stage and is an important milestone. "Why didn't the Olympic Organizing Committee fix the clock the first time when it was learned that it was broken?" Facing the sharp questions from the media, sebastian coe bowed his head in shame and made the most sincere apology to everyone in the square. He said: "On behalf of the Olympic Organizing Committee, I apologize to all the British people. The failure of the Olympic countdown clock is our fault! " After a pause, he added, "I want to thank Daisy, too. It was her efforts that brought this embarrassing and humiliating moment to an early end! "
The story of celebrity apology 7 Maybe the mistake made fifty years ago was unintentional, but if it is found and not corrected, it will be unforgivable. It is necessary to correct a mistake in fifty years.
20 12 At the end of August, a bronze statue named "Sick Child" was unveiled in the western German city of Stolberg. The bronze statue shows a child with deformed limbs, a little girl without arms and deformed legs leaning against a chair, and an empty chair on the right. In the middle of the base of the bronze statue is written the words "in memory of the dead and the surviving victims of thalidomide". This is a sculpture of Grunter, a German pharmaceutical company, apologizing to the European people for its mistakes made fifty years ago.
In the 1960s, Grunter Company, a German pharmaceutical manufacturer, introduced a new sedative through the study of thalidomide, which was mainly developed for pregnancy symptoms such as nausea and vomiting in the early pregnancy. After the introduction of the new sedative, the clinical experiment effect is very good, so it is rapidly promoted in Germany, Britain and other European countries, and the market sales are also very good.
Several years have passed, and the survey data of a social organization has aroused widespread concern: the rate of neonatal malformation in Germany has increased significantly compared with the past decade. According to the survey data, some scientific research institutions began to investigate the reasons. Finally, after several months of investigation and experiments, they finally knew the reason: thalidomide, a new sedative introduced by Grunter company a few years ago, had a great teratogenic effect on primates. These deformed babies appeared because pregnant women took the new sedative introduced by Grunter company.
Soon, gerent's sedatives were banned from the market. After investigation, the drugs previously sold by Grunter Company have caused birth defects in nearly 10,000 babies in Europe. Many babies died shortly after birth, and about 2,800 babies who survived had to be disabled for life.
Gerent offered to pay compensation to the parents of these babies. At the same time, the company's president Stebolitz held a press conference to apologize for the listing of new drugs without systematic experiments, and made a month-long apology in German TV stations, Voice of Europe and other media.
197 1 year, Grunter invested another 200 million marks to set up a foundation to compensate the undiscovered victims of thalidomide, and increased the compensation fund in the following years. At the same time, Grante cooperated with the US Food and Drug Administration in Germany to improve the market access inspection system for new drugs in Germany, thus avoiding similar situations for other new drugs.
However, things are far from over. In the next year, Grunter will announce the latest investigation on the injuries caused by thalidomide to babies and the current situation of deformed babies, and at the same time release the compensation paid by Grunter to these babies within one year and apologize.
In the summer of 20 12, gerent announced that it would end the compensation for thalidomide sedatives in the 1950s, but in order to remember this lesson, it was decided to build a sculpture in Stolberg, the city where deformed babies were first discovered at that time.
After the sculpture was completed, a reporter interviewed a spokesman of gerent Company: "As a pharmaceutical company, is it necessary to apologize for the mistakes made 50 years ago for so long?"
A spokesman for gerent said, "Maybe the mistake made 50 years ago was unintentional, but if it is discovered and not corrected, it is unforgivable. It is necessary to correct a mistake in 50 years, which reminds us that we must consider 5 years, 10 years or even longer, and the completion of this sculpture is our eternal warning that we must use our conscience to make medicines, because we are faced with the most precious things that God has given us.
Gerent Company finally got forgiveness from customers with 50 years' apology, and it took 50 years to prove that gerent Company used conscience as medicine.
The story of celebrity apology 8 Panamanian President Ricardo has always felt that his country's passport is not exquisite enough since he took office in July 2009 and decided to carry out a major rectification.
20 10 in may, Ricardo ordered the design and color of the passport to be redesigned, and he personally approved it. After two months, the National Passport Administration of Panama finally designed and produced several passport samples according to the wishes of the President and submitted them to the Presidential Palace. These colorful and beautifully made passport samples quickly won Ricardo's appreciation, and he asked the Passport Administration to print and put them into use as soon as possible.
Months passed in a blink of an eye. On October 3rd, 65438/KLOC-0, Ricardo, who was a little free, took those passport samples out of the drawer and enjoyed them. Suddenly, he found a very subtle mistake in his passport: on the national emblem of Panama, there is a cross with a shovel and a T-pick on it, but what is printed on these passports is a shovel and a square hammer with a long handle.
It is a great shame that a country's national emblem is wrong. Ricardo decided to take responsibility for his mistakes. First of all, he asked the Passport Authority to correct it immediately and make a new passport as soon as possible. At the same time, he asked the Passport Administration to count the number of passports used, which was as high as 40,000. This means that because of the carelessness of the President, 40,000 people have been ridiculed by the rest of the world for holding these passports with the wrong national emblem.
Ricardo asked the Passport Authority to print out the names of these 40,000 people as soon as possible, and he will make a televised speech the next day to apologize to these 40,000 people.
65438+1on the evening of October 4th 19, Ricardo walked to the podium on time. He first introduced the reasons for his apology, and then began to read the names.
Five minutes later, Ricardo was reading his name; Half an hour later, Ricardo was still reading his name; After 90 minutes, their chairman Ricardo is still reciting those names one by one.
Panamanians in front of the TV are confused. Is it really necessary for the President to read all these 40,000 names? How long will it take? Many people called the presidential palace and TV stations to inquire about this matter, and they got the reply from the staff: based on the average time of 3 seconds for each name, it will take the president at least 33 hours to read 40,000 names, plus there may be two short sleeps in the middle, plus the time for going to the toilet and eating, and the TV apology will last for 50 hours.
50 hours to apologize to 40 thousand people? Everyone was shocked.
No one cares what the president did wrong, how badly the national emblem on the passport was wrong, and who the president is apologizing to. For the sake of the president's health, they called to stop the president from apologizing.
Ricardo didn't stop. Three hours later, it was already midnight 10. Ricardo continued to read his names one by one on TV. His TV apology touched the whole Panama and even Panamanians overseas. They called overseas to return home and suggested that the president stop apologizing. Ricardo answered them like this: "If you don't even read the specific names, what respect and apology can you talk about?" If you can't even implement an apology to one person, what do you expect me to help you implement? If I can't even take responsibility for my mistakes, who can expect me to take responsibility for this country? "
10: 50, nearly four hours after apologizing, an overseas Panamanian said on the phone, "Mr. President, if you are so indifferent to the people's suggestions, what advice can we expect you to listen to in the future?"
Ricardo raised his head with scruples and asked into the microphone connected to the phone, "Can you really forgive me for this mistake?"
The audience on the other end of the phone replied affirmatively, "Mr. President, we forgive you."
This sentence made the whole country boil, and all ordinary people in front of the TV, whether the president could hear it or not, shouted, "Mr. President, we forgive you." Only then did the president stop. He bowed to the camera, said "thank you, my lovely Panamanian people", and then walked off the platform. ...
The story of celebrity apology 9 Lian Po Lin Xiangru's general and Lian Po are unconvinced. He said to others, "I was invincible in Lian Po and made a lot of contributions. What can he do with Lin Xiangru? He just climbed on my head with one mouth. As soon as I meet him, I have to give him little shoes! " This word reached Lin Xiangru's ear, and Lin Xiangru called in sick to avoid meeting Lian Po.
One day, Lin Xiangru went out by car and saw Lian Po riding a big horse. He quickly asked the driver to drive the car back. People in Lin Xiangru don't like it. They said that Lin Xiangru was afraid that Lian Po would see a cat like a mouse. Why should he be afraid of him? Lin Xiangru said to them, "Please think about it. Who is stronger, General Lian or King Qin? " They said, "Of course the King of Qin is great!" Lin Xiangru said, "I am not afraid of the king of Qin. Will I be afraid of General Lian? As is known to all, the King of Qin did not dare to attack our State of Zhao, just because he had Lian Po in martial arts and Lin Xiangru in literature. If we quarrel, it will weaken Zhao's strength, and Qin will definitely take the opportunity to hit us. So for our Zhao, I avoided General Lian! "
Lin Xiangru's words reached the ears of Lian Po. Lian Po calmed down and thought about it, feeling that he had neglected the interests of the country in order to win a sigh of relief. This is very wrong. So he took off his shirt, put thorns on his back, and went to Lin Xiangru's door to confess his sins. Lin Xiangru saw Lian Po come to offer a humble apology, and hurriedly came out to warmly welcome him. From then on, they became good friends and defended Zhao together.
The story of celebrity's apology10 201415 In the evening, the huge performance scene in Beijing was packed. In another 40 minutes, the drama The Sorrow of Comedy will begin. In the No.1 fitting room, actor Chen has put on her makeup and waited silently for the stage. At this time, a staff member told him that many reporters had come and wanted to interview him. Chen indifferently replied: "This is an ordinary performance, and reporters don't have to interview me."
In fact, people who are familiar with the inside story know that this performance is unusual. Last June, 1 1, The Sorrow of Comedy was performed for the third time. Chen, the leading actor, overworked and performed for several days in a row, and his condition worsened. On the evening of 26th, I suddenly had a high fever, which caused pneumonia, so I couldn't continue to perform on stage. The theater had to announce that the play would be suspended for three performances and promised to make up the performance at the beginning of this year. This time, the first performance is about to be staged.
At 5 pm, Chen walked into the backstage of the People's Art Theatre as usual. Everyone is very concerned about his health. He said boldly, "Nothing, you can't die!" But his face is still sallow. His assistant whispered to everyone, "He is really ill this time. The doctor said that if you insist on acting that night, you are likely to go into shock on the spot, which is too dangerous. Even during hospitalization, because he was too weak and worried about the infection of external germs, the doctor did not suggest that we visit him, but only greeted him by phone and text message. " During his stay in hospital, Chen asked to leave the hospital several times because he kept thinking about the unfinished performance. But the doctor said that according to his illness, it would take two months to recover, so it was best not to perform for the time being, but he didn't listen and returned to the stage in just over 40 days.
Although it has been rehearsed for two days, before the performance, Chen forgot to eat and had another conversation with another actor in the dressing room. Everyone advised him to have a rest, eat something and not be too tired. However, Chen waved and said, "Don't treat broken skin as a fracture. It seems too melodramatic to always say that you are sick. I hope everyone will still put drama first, because I let the audience run away in vain. Although I sent them an apology card to apologize, I want to repay the audience with a wonderful performance. "
As Chen said, when the audience who came to see the performance checked in, everyone who walked into the theater with the ticket stub of 2065438+200365438+2065438+1October 26th was pleasantly surprised to get a special postcard of "The Sorrow of Comedy", with stills and a handwritten message from the protagonist Chen on the front. Chen wrote on it: "Sorry to bother you again." The apology card is also stamped with a specially designed supplementary chapter with the title of the play and supplementary performances printed on it.
The apology card and supplementary chapter were requested by Chen. He said to other actors and theater leaders: "The audience came to see our play because they liked it. People pay for tickets just to see the show. I should apologize to the audience for delaying the performance for whatever reason. " He specially paid for a batch of postcards, and made three complementary seals of different colors and shapes, which were stamped on the spot for the audience who came to the theatre these three days. Some viewers happily held up postcards and said, "A blessing in disguise is a blessing in disguise! Although I ran twice, it was worth it! "
Chen is a detail-oriented person. When he heard that more than 50 spectators who bought tickets last time chose to refund their tickets because of the adjustment of performance time, he immediately discussed with the theater not to sell these tickets any more, but took this opportunity to carry out public welfare activities and give them to drama clubs in more than a dozen universities and middle schools in Beijing.
19: 30, the first performance of the comedy "Sadness" officially opened. Surprisingly, the audience and the actors seem to have reached a tacit understanding. No one applauded at the opening ceremony, the theater was quiet and the atmosphere was the same as usual.
It was not until the end of the performance that the audience's long-accumulated enthusiasm suddenly broke out. In the warm applause and applause of the audience, Chen Xiang bowed deeply and thanked him. Under the stage, applause continued. On the stage, Chen came back again and again to thank him. He visited back in the game five times, and the audience was still enthusiastic. He Bing, another star, ignored everyone's kindness and just pulled Chen to say a few words to everyone. Chen, who has been bowing his head to thank him, finally said a simple sentence emotionally: "I'm sorry to make you run twice." I hope you will come to see our play often in the future. "
The story of celebrity apology 1 1 He was born in Hamburg, a city in northern Germany, and his grandfather was a wealthy Jewish businessman. /kloc-at the age of 0/5, he witnessed the Nazi leader adolf? After Hitler came to power, he committed countless crimes of persecuting Jews crazily, and he couldn't help worrying about his Jewish descent. The teacher's parents comforted him not to worry, and they would try their best to help him escape this robbery.
Through contacts, his father secretly forged a birth certificate for him, indicating that he was of "pure Aryan descent" and urging him to "keep this secret forever".
"Pure Aryan blood" helped him escape the persecution of the Nazis, but at the age of 25, he was forced to join the Nazi army in the name of "serving the country unconditionally". But he always remembers his parents' teaching: "You must learn to protect yourself and never shoot innocent people. When you are helpless, remember to raise the muzzle one inch. " He later said, "I have been in a terrible nightmare. Although I am always at the end of the charge, the smell of blood in the air makes me suffocate at any time. I am full of terrible memories of that war, and my heart is suffering all the time. "
194 1 year, he was forced to take part in the invasion of the Soviet union. "I had a premonition that Germany was going to fail and Hitler was going to perish, and I looked forward to the end of the war one day earlier every day." Because the first mate was extremely dissatisfied with his "cowardice", he was transferred to the Imperial Space Training Department as a "people's court reporter" in 1944. Because he often pretended to be ill and was absent from work, he was dismissed after half a year and transferred to the western front.
1945 in April, he was captured by the British, less than a month before Nazi Germany surrendered on May 8. "But I didn't know anything that day. I was completely cut off from the outside world in the prison camp. I don't want anything but food and drink next time. "
After the war, he began to go into politics and worked in Willie? After Brandt resigned as Chancellor, he was elected Chancellor of the German government in May 1974. 1980, he and his good friend, then French President guiscard? When speaking, Destin couldn't help telling the "secret", but Destin told it to others as a joke, which caused an uproar in global politics and even alarmed the Israeli government. 198 1 year, then Israeli prime minister Menachem? Bei Jing, who constantly openly mocked himself as a Nazi soldier in international political occasions, accused and demanded him: "As the successor of Prime Minister Brandt, you should take courage like him and kneel down to apologize to the victims for the dirty things your country, especially yourself, otherwise, you will be a loyal running dog of the Nazis."
For the fierce accusation of Bei Jingzi, he resolutely refused: "What did I do wrong? Why apologize? " But Bei Jing adamant4, seize the opportunity to blame him. On the contrary, Destin couldn't stand it any longer. After obtaining his consent, he told the truth of his identity to the mainstream media in the world: "The mental pain he suffered for so many years is unimaginable to ordinary people. In that special era, if his father hadn't forged his birth certificate, it would be difficult for him to live today. Besides, he didn't do anything bad, let alone kill Jews. He didn't make a mistake. Is there any reason for him to kneel down and apologize? "
Bei Jingzi was deeply shocked when she learned of her misfortune, and she was also uneasy about the harm caused by her speaking out of turn. He immediately wrote to apologize: "When I learned of your unfortunate experience, I was not only impressed by your survival wisdom in the predicament, but also sincerely admired your noble character of" getting out of the mud without dyeing ". No matter you are a person or a head of government, you are undoubtedly very great, and this greatness lies in that you always adhere to your own principles and build a beautiful residence for your noble soul. "
This "Nazi soldier" who refused to kneel down and apologize is the oldest former chancellor in Germany-95-year-old Helmut? Schmidt. Talking about this past, he was very calm: "The value of life lies not in superficial phenomena, but in the depths of our hearts. Each of us is unique-never forget this! "
