Failure Quote by Jan Jansen Easy Branches
““One mistake does not define the full worth of a person” A mistake can cause real pain and must never be dismissed.

The true measure of character appears in what follows: acknowledging the damage, apologising without excuses, respecting the other person's boundaries and changing the behaviour that caused the hurt.
