1.A famous scientist made several important medical breakthroughs. He was asked by a newspaper reporter why he was more ingenious than the average person. He answered that it all came from a childhood experience with his mother. He had been trying to remove a bottle of milk from the fridge (冰箱) when he failed to hold the bottle firmly and it fell, spilling the milk all over the kitchen floor.
When his mother came into the kitchen, instead of punishing (惩罚) him, she said, “Robert, I have hardly seen such a huge pool of milk. Whenever you make a mess like this, at last you have to clean it up and restore everything to its proper order. So, how would you like to do that? We could use a sponge (海绵), a towel, or a mop. Which do you prefer?”
He chose the sponge and together they cleaned up the spilled milk. His mother then said, “You failed to carry a big milk bottle with two tiny hands. Let’s go to the backyard and fill the bottle with water and see if you can discover a way to carry it without dropping it.”
The little boy learned that if he grasped the bottle at the top with both hands, he could carry it without dropping it. This scientist then remarked that it was at that moment that he knew he didn’t need to be afraid to make mistakes. Even if the experiment doesn’t work, we usually learn something valuable from it.
