Failure is how we learn. I have been told of an African phrase　41　a good cook as “she who has broken many pots”. If you’ve spent enough time in the　42　to have broken a lot of pots, probably you know a fair amount about　43　. I once had a late dinner with a group of chefs, and they spent time　44　knife wounds and burn scars. They knew how much credibility(信誉)their　45　gave them.

　　I earn my living by writing a daily newspaper column. Each week I am　46　that one column is going to be the worst column of the week. I don’t set out to write it; I try my best every day. 　47　, every week, one column is inferior(较差的)to the others, sometimes extremely so.

　　I have learned to　48　that column. A successful column usually means that I am treading(踩踏)on　49　ground, going with the tricks that work, or dressing up popular ideas in fancy words. Often in my inferior columns, I am trying to　50　something I’ve never done before, something I’m not even sure can be done.

I probably won’t tell her that failure is a good thing, because that’s not a(n)　54　you can learn when you’re five. I hope I can tell her, though, that it’s not the end of the world. Indeed, with luck, it is the　55　.
