Jean is a bright young lady who comes from a rich and famous family. She goes to a good university and has everything that money can buy. Well, almost everything. The problem is that the people in Jean's family are so busy that they can hardly find time to be with her. So Jean spends a lot of time on her QQ. She likes being anonymous (匿名), talking to people who do not know about her famous family and her rich life. She uses the name Linda on QQ and has made a lot of friends who she keeps in touch with quite often.
Last year Jean made a very special friend on QQ. His name was David and lived in San Francisco. David was full of stories and jokes. He and Jean had a common interest in rock music and modern dance. So it always took them hours to talk happily on QQ and sometimes they even forgot their time. Of course, they wanted to know more about each other. David sent her a picture of himself: He was a tall, good-looking young man with a big happy smile. As time went by, they became good friends and often sent cards and small things to each other.
When Jean's father told her that he was going on a business trip to San Francisco, she asked him to let her go with him so that she could give David a surprise for his birthday. She would take him the latest DVD of their favorite rock singer. But when she knocked on David's door in San Francisco, she found that her special friend was only a ten-year-old boy named Jim!

No one likes to make mistakes.But a new study says organizations learn more from their failures than from their successes,and keep that knowledge longer.
One of the researchers was Vinit Desai,an assistant professor at the University of Colorado Denver Business School.He worked with Peter Madsen from the Marriott School of Management at Brigham Young University in Utah.
They did not find much long-term "organizational learning" from success.It is possible,they say.But Professor Desai says they found that knowledge gained from failure lasts for years.He says organizations should treat failures as a learning opportunity and not try to ignore them.
The study looked at companies and organizations that launch satellites--and other space vehicles.Professor Desai compared two shuttle flights.
In two thousand two,a piece of insulating(隔热的) material broke off during launch and damaged a rocket on the Atlantis.Still,the flight was considered a success.
Then,in early two thousand three,a piece of insulation struck the Columbia during launch.This time,the shuttle broke apart on re-entry and the seven crew members died.NASA officials suspended all flights and an investigation led to suggested changes.
Professor Desai says the search for solutions after a failure can make leaders more open-minded.He points to airlines as an example of an industry that has learned from failures in the past.
He advises organizations to look for useful information in small failures and failures they avoided.He also urges leaders to encourage the open sharing of information.The study appeared in the Academy of Management Journal.
The mistakes we learn from do not have to be our own.We recently asked people on our Facebook page to tell us a time they had done something really silly.
Fabricio Cmino wrote: Not long ago I wanted to watch TV,but it wouldn't turn on,so I did everything I could to start it.Thirty minutes later my mum showed up and,passing by,said to me "Did you try plugging it'? I’m just dusting,Mum!”So she wouldn't notice how dumb I am sometimes!
Bruno Kanieski da Silva told about a time he looked everywhere for his key.It was in his pocket.He wrote: I always promise I will never do it again,but after-a few weeks,where is my wallet? For sure it will be in a very logical place.

A. The insulating material problem in 2002 didn't arouse enough attention
