I SHOULD BE READING FOR MY EXAM…
This morning I went jogging as usual and as usual I was
inspired to write this piece though I should be preparing for my examination.
The main point of discourse today is centered on the
sentence below:
“To an old man, jogging
maybe somewhat too fast a pace for him or her to keep up with…”
I hope you didn’t just read through the above sentence;
because if you did, you probably just missed the point I am trying to unveil.
Most times we * tend to (in our desire to be gender
sensitive) commit blunder. In the sentence above, the reporter said (but please
note no specific reporter is referred to here; it’s just an analogy,) that “to
an old man” referring only to a “man” afterwards the sentence read “for him or
her”. Now I guess you got the point.
If you make a mistake from the beginning and you try to
correct it, I think it is better to go back and correct it rather than try to forward correct it.
The sentence of our discourse could have been totally
changed to read:
“To the old, jogging
maybe somewhat too fast a pace to keep up with”
Main point/lesson: We should try to have the gumption to
correct our mistakes by going back (when we can) rather than trying to play
around it.
I will like to refer to the two as:
FORWARD CORRECTION and BACKWARD CORRECTION
Best wishes people; I know I will succeed in my examination;
GOD is with me…DESIRE
