You have been created with the ability to change the world. Every single choice you make ... every single action you take ... matters. But remember, the converse is also true. Every choice you do not make ... every action you do not take ... matters just as much.

If one makes a mistake, then an apology is usually sufficient to get things back on an even keel.
