Question

Towards the end of the baseball game, a controversial call was given. At full speed Paul Harvey slid home(本垒)and, thinking he had just1 a game-changing run, he stood up only to face the words, “You’re2!”
Angry, he threw off his helmet and ran over to explain to the3 why the call was wrong. Before his4 really got out of control, someone pulled him away, and he walked to the bench---5.
Long after the coaches, players, and fans had gone home, he realized the impact of his6. Like most of us do when we are faced with the7 of our actions, he could have just let it go, reasoning, “Everybody8 it.”
However, in the silence of his heart, he knew that just9 everyone else does it, that doesn’t make it all right. And so, long after his friends had gone home, he10 that coach back up to the school—not to11 his car. No, the boy tracked this man down so he could tell him face to face, “I’m sorry, Sir. It was all my12.”
It takes true courage to stand up to face the13 we all make and say, “I was wrong. I’m sorry.” What makes this14 unique is that it wasn’t meant for the world to15, it was meant simply as a way to stay16 to his own heart.
The truth is at one time or another we have all been this boy ---17 out in anger, saying hurtful things, and feeling18 for doing so. But the real test comes later when we are19 with the choice to say “sorry” or to walk away thinking, “Ah, they’11 get over it.”
Maybe the “they” is a customer, a friend, or a child. Whoever it is, don’t pass up the opportunity to get right with your own heart. The time for apology is now! Courage is a20 of the heart.
