With excitement and enthusiasm we started our small business. No longer were we 1 to have a weekly paycheck (工资). We now were on our own to 2 an income to provide us with the money to live. I was a little 3 about our ability to do this. But, Byron believed in our products, and believed in our ability to 4 .
We invested heavily in producing a number of products, 5 none of them are popular with customers. The market gave us so heavy a 6 that we hardly made enough money to pay our expenses.
We now had our money 7 in the booth (货摊) that we had rented for the summer and fall months. We had a lot of money 8 up in materials. So we did not have enough money to 9 our monthly bills. We were discouraged, and the thoughts of failure ran through our heads.
As we discussed our 10 , I happened to read the words by Mary Pickford: "If you have made mistakes... there is always another chance for you... you may have a 11 start any moment you choose, for this thing we call ‘Failure’ is not falling down, but 12 down."

We came up with new products using remaining 15 . We redesigned our booth. We reconsidered our pricing system. And, we started making enough money to pay our 16 .
If we had done nothing, if we allowed ourselves to "stay down", then we would have 17 . But we made the choice to learn from our 18 , and we moved forward with more determination. These words 19 a much better idea on failure ---- a chance for a fresh start! The most important point here is "choice" because you decide how you 20 your failure, you decide if you stay down.
