Why are so many people so afraid of failure? It is simply because no one tells us how to fail so that failure becomes an experience that will lead to growth. We forget that failure is part of being human and that every person has the right to fail.
Most parents work hard at either preventing failure or protecting their children from the knowledge that they have failed. One way is to lower standards. A mother describes her childs carelessly-made table as perfect even though it doesnt stand still. Another way is to blame something else. If John fails science, it is because his teacher is unfair or stupid.
Success, which encourages repetition of old behavior, is not nearly as good a teacher as failure. Even a failure that seems definitive(决定性的) can cause fresh thinking or a change of direction.
为什么这么多人如此害怕失败？这很简单，因为没有人告诉我们怎样失败，这样失败就成了一种导致增长的经验。我们忘记了失败是人类的一部分，每个人都有失败的权利。
大多数父母都在努力防止失败或保护他们的孩子不知道他们失败了。一种方法是降低标准。一位母亲描述她孩子的不小心使餐桌上的完美，即使它不站立。另一种方式是责怪其他的东西。如果不科学，那是因为他的老师是不公平的或愚蠢的。
成功，它鼓励重复的旧行为，是不是几乎一样好的教师作为失败。就是彻底的失败也能引起新的思维或改变方向。
