"Everyone makes mistakes in life, but that doesn't mean they have to pay for them for the rest of their life. Sometimes wise people make foolish choices. It doesn't mean they're foolish…it means they're improving!"

Mistakes sometimes mean something that you are trying new things. It's good to try new things, because when you are trying new things you are growing. If you never have a try, you never make progress. Look around you, everything you see is the result of someone trying new things.

I remember clearly what life was like back in 2006. I was 17 years old and in a really bad place.

In a chemistry lab, I was doing an experiment. I tried twenty times, but I couldn't succeed. So I decided to stop doing the experiment. I felt a little unhappy.

Mr. Green seemed to understand me. He touched my head with a smile, "Young man, you have done a lot and you've got a lot. You at least know that there are twenty ways you can't use to do this experiment."

After hearing the words, I became excited. I kept doing the experiment and at last I did succeed.

It is always expected that housework will be done by robots completely in the future. For years, scientists have been working on this dream, but it still remains in science fiction films.
