People are always afraid of making mistakes. But sometimes it’s not bad to make mistakes, and here is why.
At first , mistakes are a clear sign that you are trying new things. It’s always good to new things, because when you are trying new things your are growing. If you never try new things , how can you improve ? How can you create? The simple answer is, “ You can’t .” Look around you, everything you see is the result of someone trying new things.
Another good thing about mistakes is this : when your are making mistakes, you are learning. Consider this： Edison failed 10,000 times before he invented the light bulb. When he was asked how he felt to fail that many times, but rather had learned 10,000 things that didn’t work.
Finally , when you make a mistake, you are that much closer to success. Why? Because you have said what you should say, and you have done what you should do. Every time you make a mistake, you are closer to success. But it doesn’t mean that you can make mistakes without thinking. Instead, when you try new things you have to think them over, so that you can keep away from some unnecessary mistakes.
We shouldn’t spend all our time and money on the only one way , but use them correctly. Because our time and money are limited. (有限的)
There is an old saying, “ If you are not making mistakes, you are not trying hard enough.” So go bravely and make mistakes. And learn. And grow. And succeed.

When I was about 12 , I had an enemy , a girl who liked to pointed out shortcomings (缺点).Sometimes she said I was thin , Sometimes she said I was lazy. Sometimes she said I wasn’t a good student. Sometimes she said I talked too much, and so on. I tried to put up with(忍受) her as long as I could . At last , I became very angry. I ran to my father with tears in my eyes.
He listened to me quietly, and then he asked, “ Are the things she said true or not ? Mary , didn’t you ever wonder what you’re really like? Go and make a list of everything she said and mark the points that are true. Pay no attention to the other things she said.”
I did as he told me and to my surprise, I discovered that about half the things were true.
I brought the list back to my father. He refused to take it. “ That’s just for you,” he said. You know better than anyone else the truth about yourself.
