In one way of thinking, failure is part of life. In       way, failure may be a way towards success. The “Spider-story” is often       .Robert Bruce , leader of the Scots in the 13 th century, was hiding in a cave from the English. He watched a spider       a web. The spider tried to reach across a rough        in the rock. He tried six times without success .On the        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       the English . Edison , the inventor of the light bulb, made       models that failed before he found the right way to make one. Once he was asked         he kept on trying to make a new type of battery when he had failed so often, he replied, “Failure? I have         failure. Now I know 50,000 ways it won't        ”.
So what? First,always think about your failure. What caused       ?Were conditions right? Were you in top from yourself? What can you change? So things will go          next time.
Second, is the goal you're trying to reach the right one? Try to do some         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        about failure is that it's a part of life. Learn to “live with yourself" even though you may have

Thomas Edison was a great American inventor. He was born to a poor family in 1847. His mother taught him at home. He often observed things carefully and he made over 1,300 inventions during his life time. He was often said to be the greatest genius(天才) of his age. There are only a few men in all of history, who have changed the lives of other men as much as the inventor of the first useful electric light. But Edison could never be happy only because someone said he was a genius. “There is no such thing as genius,” Edison said. He also said that what people called genius was mostly hard work. But Edison was a dreamer as well as a worker. From his earliest days as a child he wondered about the secrets of nature. Nature, he often said, is full of secrets. He tried to understand them; then, he tried to learn what could usefully be done with them.

Edison enjoyed thinking. He knew that most people will do almost anything instead of the difficult work of thinking, especially if they do not think very often. But he knew, too, that thinking can give men enjoyment and pleasure.

Edison could not understand how anyone could be uninterested in life. As he loved to think, he also loved to work. On the day he became 75 years old, someone asked him what ideas he had about life. “Work, ” he answered back, “discovering the secrets of nature and using them to make men happier.” He said he had enough inventions in his mind to give him another 100 years of work.
