  Many centuries ago, there lived in Scotland a king whose name was Robert Bruce.He was both a smart king and a brave soldier.One day the English army invaded(侵略)Scotland and Bruce led his people against their enemy.Bruce fought with the enemy for six times, but the six times he was beaten.So he was forced to go into hiding in the woods or in lonely places in the mountains.

  On rainy day, Bruce lay on the ground in a hut(茅舍), listening to the sound of the rain on the roof.He was tired and sad.At that time he was going to give up all his hope.It seemed to him that it was no use trying to do anything any more.As he lay thinking, suddenly he found a spider over his head trying to spin a web.He watched her with great interest and care.

  Six times she tried to reach the opposite of the wall to fix her thread and six times he failed.

  But the spider didn't lose hope.With still more care, she tried for the seventh time.

  Bruce lost himself in watching her swing herself out upon the slender line and he almost forgot his own troubles.He found the thread was carried safely from one to the other.Suddenly, he had an idea and he would try a seventh time.He told his men of his plans and sent them out with messages of cheer to his disheartened people.Soon there was an army of brave Scotsmen gathered around him.This time the Scots won and their enemy was driven out of Scotland.

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
