Last week, my granddaughter started kindergarten,and ,as is conventional, I wished her every success ,But part of me didn’t.

I actually wanted her to fail in some ways because I believe that failure can be good for our learning process, Success is proving that you can do something that you already know you can do , First –time success is usually a fluke (侥幸),First-time failure ,by contrast,is expected ;it is the natural order of things Failure is how we learn.

In Africa they describe a good cook as “she who has broken many bots”,If you’ve spent enough time in the kitchen to break a lot of pots ,probably you know a lot about cooking ,I once had dinner with a group of cooks and they spent a lot of time comparing knife wounds and burn scars ,They Knew how much their failures gave them.

I earn my living by writing a daily newspaper column, Each week I am aware that one column I write lill be my sores , I don’t set out to write it ; I try my best every day.

Ny younger daughter is a trapeze artist(杂技荡秋千演员),She spent three years putting together a show and she did it successfully for years ,There was no reason for her to change it-but she did anyway, She said she was no longer learning anything new and she was boued; and if she was bored ,there was no point in subjecting her body to all that stress

My granddaughter is a perfectionist She will feel her failures ,and I will want to comfort her, But I sill also ,I hope ,remind her of what she learned ,and how she can do better next time ,I hope I can tell her ,though ,that it’s not the end of the world ,Indeed,  with juck ,it is the beginning.
