In one way of thinking, failure is a part of life. In another way, failure may be a way towards success. The “spider story” is often told. Robert Bruce, leader of the Scots in the 13th century, was hiding in a cave from the English. He watched a spider spinning a web. The spider tried to reach across a rough place in the rock. He tried six times without success. On the seventh time he made it and went on to spin his web. Bruce is said to have taken heart and to have gone on to defeat the English... Edison, the inventor of the light bulb, made hundreds of models that failed before he found the right way to make one.

So what? First, always think about your failure. What caused it? Were conditions right? Were you in top from yourself? What can you change so things will go right next time?

Second, is the goal you’re trying to reach the right one? Try to do some thinking 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 anyway.

The third thing to bear in mind about failure is that it’s a part of life. Learn to “live with yourself” even though you may have failed. Remember, “You can’t win them all.”

The dream changed. First I went through a silent forest. Then I was alone in a small boat, which was floating along, past tree-covered islands. The boat was carrying me between grassy banks with colorful dots here and there. The water was so clear that some soft clouds in bright sky could be seen in it. The current must have been strong, for the boat kept moving forward quickly, as though

it were being pushed by some unseen hand.

At last the boat came to a place with a narrow stretch of silver sand. An old man was standing, his hand shading his eyes. As the boat ran around, he came up to me, held out his hand, and greeted me politely.

“You have reached me at last. Would you follow me, please?”

I kept still for a moment and was wondering what would happen next. The old man noticed my doubt and smiled at me kindly.

“You need not be afraid,” he said. “You are deeply respected by us all. Everything has been prepared for you. Now please come with me to the place chosen for you.*'

I dared not refuse him,but for reasons I cannot explain, I wouldn’t touch his hand out stretched to help me as I stepped out of the boat. We made our way towards a low flight of steps, which led to a beautiful palace, where I expected something dangerous was hidden.

Norman Cousins was a businessman from the United Stated who often traveled around the world on business. He enjoyed his work and traveling. But now, Mr. Cousins got sick, because he had pushed his body to the limit of its strength on his work. Surrounded by endless work, he had no choice but to deal with it day and night. Then a chemical change began to take place inside him. The material between his bones became weak. In less than one week after his return, he could not stand. Every move that he make was painful. He was not able to sleep at night.

The doctors told him that they did not know how to cure (治疗) Mr. Cousins’ problem and he might never get over the illness. However, Mr. Cousins refused to give up hope.

Instead, he felt that happy thoughts or laughter might cure his illness.

He began to experiment (实验) on himself while still in the hospital by watching funny shows on television. Mr. Cousins quickly found that 10 minutes of real laughter during the day gave him two hours of pain-free sleep at night. After that Mr. Cousins left the hospital and checked into a hotel room where he could continue his experiments with laughter. For eight days, Mr. Cousins rested in the hotel room watching funny shows on television, reading funny books, and sleeping whenever he felt tired.
