Failure, they say, is the best teacher．We learn and gain more confidence through trial and error．At one time or another we will encounter failure．You don’t have to accept your failure if what you really want to achieve is success．
For every achievement, there have been one or more failures．But those who we call successful are those who refuse to accept failure and believe success is the other side of failure．The incandescent light （白炽灯） was invented after 1000 failure．Assuming he had stopped after he tried 100 times without the desired result, what would have been the result of such effort?
Any time you see products and new inventions, think in terms of failures that are not accepted．Moreover, everything in a microform today is a result of failure that is not accepted．Any time your effort is not bring a desired result, you don’t have to call it a failure．Call it a chanllenge．What is the difference between the two? One is negative, and the other is positive; one motivates, and the other demotivates．
What you need is positive thinking and motivation to attain success．Failure is an end thing; challenging is an open thing．Failure means there is no way out, no altermative, but challenge is a question mark asking another way out of the situation, an alternative solution to the problem, the job at hand．Keep dreaming and moving; that is the solution to success．A wise man once said if you cannot fly, run．If you cannot run, walk．If you cannot walk, crawl; just keep on moving．
If you fall down, you have to get up and start moving．If not, other people will step on you to the way to their success．What you call failure and abandon is what someone will continue with just a little additional effort to reach success．

Any time your effort is not bringing a(n) 45 result, you don’t have to call it a failure. Call it a challenge. What is the 46 between the two? One is negative, the other is 47 ; one demotivates , the other motivates.

My students often tell me that they don’t have “enough time” to do all their schoolwork.
My reply is often a brief “You have as much time as the president.” I usually carry on a bit about there being twenty-four hours in the day for everyone, and suggest that “not enough time” is not an acceptable explanation of not getting something done.
Once in graduate school, I tried to prove to one of my professors by 
say
ing that I was working hard. His answer to me was, “That’s irrelevant (无关的). What’s important is the quality of your work.” Since then I have had time to think carefully about the “hard worker” dodge (诀窍), and I have come to some conclusions — all relevant to the problem of how much time we have.
If you analyze the matter, you can identify two parts of the problem: There is, of course, the matter of “time”, which we can think of as fixed. Then there is the problem of “work” during that time. But, as my professor suggested, it’s not how hard one works but the quality of the product that’s important.
That led me to a new idea: the quality of the work. That concept is perhaps best explained by a sign I once saw on the wall in someone’s office: “Don’t work harder. Work smarter.” There is a lot of sense in that idea.
If you can’t get more time, and few of us can, the only solution is to improve the quality of the work. That means thinking of ways to get more out of the same time than we might otherwise get. That should lead us to an analysis of our work habits. Since “work” for students usually means “homework”, the expression “work habits” should be read as “study habits”.
Then, as a smart student, you will seek to improve those skills that you use in study, chiefly reading and writing. If you learn to read better and write better, there are big benefits that pay off in all your studies.

Honesty, my mum always used to tell me, is the best policy. Of course, this didin’t include her when she told me that if I didn’t eat all my vegetables Father Christmas would find out and wouldn’t give me any presents.
But when it comes to medicine, I had assumed it was important to always be honest with my patients. After all, the doctor patient relationship is based on trust, and therefore honesty is essential, Or so I thought.
I had just started working in geriatrics(老年病科). Mr. McMahon was brought in when his baby was faound very swollen. I took a medical history from his daughter would accompanied him in the ambulance. She’d been his main carer for years. I stood looking at him as she gave a detailed history. “Has he lost any weight recently?” I asked, “Well, it’s funny you should mention that, but yes.” She said slowly. There was silence for a few moments. “Why? What are you worried about?” she asked, I hesitated. She was obviously very involved in his care and it was only fair that I told her the truth. “Well, we need to prove it’s not cancer.” I said and talked briefly about some of the tests I was going to order.
Half an hour later, a nurse called me: “Mr. McMahon’s daughter broke down－she said you told her he had cancer.” My heart sank. By the time I arrived at the ward, my consultant was already there, explaining that we still had to run lots of tests and that it was by no means confirmed that he had cancer. I stood silently at the end of the bed. My consultant was obviously angry with me and as we left Mr. McMahon, she turned to me. “Why on carch did you do that?” she asked to disbelief. I looked at her andbit my hp. “She asked me what I was worried about and I told her.” I said, hanging my head. “And give her more to worry about?” replied my consultant. “You don’t say the word ‘cancer’ until it’s confirmed. Even if you suspect it, think very carefully before you tell people.”
As it turned out, it wasn’t cancer. But I did learn that when somecone is stressed and worried about their loved one they’re sometimes selective in what they hear－and as a doctor it’s important to be mindful of this. In being truthful, I’d made the situation worse.
