Last week, my granddaughter started kindergarten and I wished her success. I was ___. What I actually wished for her was failure.Success is ___. Success proves that you can do something that you ____ know you can do. First-time success is usually because of good luch.However, first-time failure is ____; it is the natural order of things.
Failure is ____ we learn. I have been told an African phrase that ____ a good cook as “he who has broken many pots” If you've spent enough time in the ____ and have broken many pots.”If you have spent enough time in the ____ and have broken a lot of pots, probably you know much about ____ .I once had dinner with a group of cooks, and they spent time ____ knife wounds and bum scars. They knew how much benefit their ____ had given them.
My younger daughter is a trapeze(高空秋千)artist.It took her three years to ____ an act.She did it successfully for years.There was no ____ for her to change the act,but she did it ____. She said she felt bored because it ____ offered her anything new.So she changed the act, ____ she was advised not to.She ____ failure and public embarrassment in order to feed her soul.
My granddaughter is a perfectionist(完美主义者),probably too much of one.I will ___ her when she feels sad about her failure.I will also ____ her about what she had learned,and how she can do whatever it is ____ next time.But I probably won’t tell her that failure is a good thing, because that’s not a(n) ____ she can learn when she is five. I hope I can tell her, though, that it’s not the end of the world. Indeed, with luck, it is the beginning.
