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 13^th century, was hiding in a cave from the English. He watched a spider  28 a 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.

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.
