Mistakes make walking possible for the smallest toddler, make speech possible, make works of genius possible.

　　Think about how we learn: we don’t just consume information about something and instantly know it or know how to do it. You don’t just read about painting, or writing, or computer programming, or baking, or playing the piano, and know how to do them right away. Instead, you get information about something, from reading or from another person or from observing, then you make mistakes and repeat, making mistakes, learning from those mistakes, until you’ve pretty much learned how to do something. That’s how we learn as babies and toddlers, and how we learn as adults. Mistakes are how we learn to do something new—because if you succeed at something, it’s probably something you already knew how to do. You haven’t really grown much from that success—at most it’s the last step on your journey, not the whole journey. Most of the journey was made up of mistakes, if it’s a good journey.

　　So if you value learning, if you value growing and improving, then you should value mistakes. They are amazing things that make a world of brilliance possible.

　　6. Why do most of us feel bad about making mistakes?

　　A. Because mistakes make us suffer a lot.

　　B. Because it’s a natural part in our life.

　　C. Because we’ve been taught so from a young age.
