While we were growing up, our parents might often say things like “Look at that boy! He is so excellent that he always does things right.” Such words made us believe that 1 we were excellent people, we could do nothing wrong. We were afraid 2 (try) new things, because we were afraid of making mistakes or 3 (fail). But in fact, failure(失败) and mistakes are as important as success.
Sarah's father never said “Look at the other girls” to her. When Sarah was young, her father asked her the same question every weekend. “Did you fail in anything this week, Sarah?” He did not care too much about her grades. He cared 4 (much) about what she had tried and failed in. When she told him about her failure and mistakes, he would give her 5 high five(举手击掌).
Do you realize what her father was doing? He was trying to make her believe that failure and mistakes are just fine. And they are a huge part of our 6 (grow) and success. Most 7 (important), her father was telling her that she would still be loved and 8 (trust) even if she failed. Encouraged by the weekend 9 (communicate), Sarah has grown into a successful business woman. She has tried many new jobs and had many difficulties, but she never loses heart. Because she knows her failure and mistakes would be embraced(接受) 10 the weekend.
