In one way of thinking, failure is part of life. In 26 way, failure may be a way towards success. The “Spider-story” is often 27 Robert Bruce, leader of the Scots in the 13th century, was hiding in a cave from the English. He watched a spider 28 a web. The spider tried to reach across a rough 29 in the rock. He tried six times. On the 30 time he made it and went on to make his web. Bruce is said to have been encouraged by this and to have gone on to 31 the English. Edison, the inventor of the light bulb, made 32 models that failed before he found the right way to make one. Once he was asked 33 he kept on trying to make a new type of battery when he had failed so often, he replied, “Failure? I have 34 failures. Now I know 50,000 ways it won't 35”.
So what? First, always think about your failure. What caused 36 ?Were conditions right? Were you in top from yourself? What can you change? So things will go 37 next times.
Second, is the goal(目标 ) you're trying to reach the right one? Try to do some 38 about what your real goals may be. Think about this question. “If I do succeed in this, where will it get me?" This may help you prevent failure in things you shouldn't be doing any way.
The third thing to keep in 39 about failure is that it's a part of life. Learn to “live with yourself" even though you may have 40 .

To err is human. To blame(责备) the other guy is even more human.
Common sense is not all that common.
Why tell the truth when you can come up with a good excuse?
These three popular misquotes(戏谑的引语)are meant to be jokes, and yet they tell us a lot about human nature. To err, or to make mistakes, is indeed a part of being human, but it seems that most people don’t want to accept the responsibility for the problem. Perhaps it is the natural thing to do. The original quote about human nature went like this: “To err is human, to forgive, divine(神圣的).” This saying mirrors an ideal: People should be forgiving of others’ mistakes. Instead, we tend to do the opposite – find someone else to pass the blame on to. However, taking responsibility for something that went wrong is a mark of great maturity(成熟).
Common sense is what we call clear thought. Having common sense means having a good general plan that will make things work well, and it also means staying with the plan. Common sense tells you that you take an umbrella out into a rainstorm, but you leave the umbrella home when you hear a weather forecast for sunshine. Common sense does not seem to be common for large companies, because there are so many things going on that one person cannot be in charge of everything. People say that in a large company, “the right hand does not know what the left hand is doing.”
And what is wrong with a society that thinks that making up a good excuse is like creating a work of art? One of the common problems with making excuses is that people, especially young people, get the idea that it’s okay not to be totally honest all the time. There is a corollary(直接推论)to that: if a good excuse is “good” even if it isn’t honest, then where is the place of the truth?
