There was a famous scientist who made several important discoveries. One day he (ask) how he was able to be so creative. He (reply) that it all came from an experience he had with his mother when he was 2 years old. He was trying to take a bottle of milk out of the refrigerator. But the bottle was too slippery (滑的) and he dropped it. kitchen floor was covered in milk.
When his mother came into the kitchen, instead of (shout) at him or punishing him, she said, "Robert, what a great and wonderful mess you have made! I have never seen such a huge puddle of milk. Would you like to play in the milk a few minutes before we clean it up?"
he did. A few minutes later, they cleaned it up together. Then his mother said, "This was a failed experiment on to carry a big bottle of milk with two tiny hands. Let's go out in the backyard and fill the bottle with water to see if you can find a way to carry it without dropping it"
The little boy learned that if he held the bottle at the top near the lip with both hands, he could carry it (success). What a wonderful lesson!
The scientist then added that it was at that moment that he knew he didn't need to be afraid to make (mistake). He learned that they are just opportunities (机会) to learn something (good) and faster which is, after all, what scientific experiments are all about. Even if the experiment doesn't "work", we can still learn something valuable from it.
