Question

“The measure of a man’s real character is what he would do if he knew he would never be found out.”—Thomas Macaulay

One day, some thirty years ago, Mrs. O’Neill gave us a test to our class. When the papers were marked, she discovered 12 boys had made exactly the same mistakes throughout the test. There is nothing new about cheating in exams. Perhaps that was why Mrs. O’Neill didn’t even say a word about it. She only asked the twelve boys to remain after class. I was one of them.

Mrs. O’Neill asked no questions, and she didn’t scold us either. Instead, she wrote on the blackboard the above words by Thomas Macaulay. She then ordered us to copy these words into our exercise-books one hundred times.

It was the most important single lesson of my life. Thirty years later, the words still seem to me the best yardstick, because they give us a way to measure ourselves rather than others.

Answer 1

One possible version:

Instead of being criticized severely, the author, together with other 11 boys who cheated in a test, was ordered to copy an instructive sentence a hundred times, which he thought was the most important lesson of his life.

In my point of view, the author was somewhat brave enough to face his fault and deal with it in a right way, nevertheless he had cheated in the test. Thanks to his teacher, Mrs. O’Neill, he received an impressive and particular lesson from which he obtained a way to measure himself.

As a saying goes, “A fault confessed is half redressed.” In fact, faults are like road humps, they slow you down temporarily but you can enjoy the smooth road afterwards. Since mistakes can’t be avoided, it is our duty and commitment to cultivate an ability to overcome whatever mistakes we are confronted with. With this ability, no obstacles can overwhelm us and interfere with our long range goal. Only when we build it up will we almost inconceivably triumph.
