In one way of thinking, failure is part of life. In ? ? ? way, failure may be a way towards success. The “Spider-story” is often ? ? ? . Robert Bruce , leader of the Scots in the 13th century, was hiding in a cave from the English. He watched a spider ? ? ?? a web. The spider tried to reach across a rough ? ? ? in the rock. He tried six times. On the ? ? ? time he made it and went on to make his web. Bruce is said to have been encouraged by this and to have gone on to ? ? ?? the English. Edison, the inventor of the light bulb, made ? ? ?? models that failed before he found the right way to make one. Once he was asked ?? ? ? he kept on trying to make a new type of battery when he had failed so often, he replied, “Failure? I have ? ? ? failure. Now I know 50,000 ways it won't ?? ? ? “..

So what? First，always think about your failure. What caused ? ? ? ？Were conditions right? Were you in top from yourself? What can you change? So things will go ?? ? ?? next time.

Second, is the goal you're trying to reach the right one? Try to do some ?? ? ?? about what your real goals may be. Think about this question. “If I do succeed in this, where will it get me?" This may help you prevent failure in things you shouldn't be doing any way.

Adults usually do not remember most of the things that are taught by their teachers at school. But this story is one   16   that I will never forget.

    It was a normal Monday morning, and my teacher was teaching us about  17   things in life and about devoting ourselves to what we really need. This is how the story went:

      18    lived in a certain part of London, and he would wake up every morning and go to the underground. He would get onto the train right to Central London, and then sit at the street corner and   19  . He would do this every single day of his life. He sat at  20  street corner and begged for almost 20 years.

    His  21   was dirty, and a stench （恶臭） came out. The neighbors could not bear the  22  any more, so they called for the police officers to clear the place. The officers knocked down the door and  23  the house. There were small bags of  24   all over the house that he had collected over the years.

    The police counted the money, and they soon   25  that the old man was a millionaire. They waited outside his house expecting to  26   the good news with him. When the old man arrived home that evening, one of the officers told him that there was no need for him to beg any more as he was a   27  man now, a millionaire.

    But the old man said  28   ;he went into his house and locked the door. The next morning he woke up  29  ,went to the underground, sat at the same street corner and continued to beg.

    Clearly, this old man had no great plans,  30   or anything significant (重大的) for his life. We learn nothing from this story but to stay focused on the things we enjoy doing.
