I recently heard a story about a famous research scientist who had made several very important medical breakthroughs. A newspaper reporter him why he was able to be so much more than the average person. What set him so far apart from others?
He that it all came from an experience with his mother that occurred when he was about two years old. He had been trying to remove a bottle of milk from the refrigerator when he dropped the slippery bottle, spilling its all over the kitchen floor—a real sea of milk!
When his mother came into the kitchen，instead of at him, giving him a lecture or punishing him, she said, “Robert, what a great and mess you have made! I have seen such a huge pool of milk. Well, the has already been done. Would you like to get down and play in the milk for a few minutes before we clean it up？”
Indeed, the boy did. After a few minutes, his mother said, “You know, Robert, you make a mess like this, eventually you have to clean it up and everything to its proper order. How would you like to do that? We could use a sponge(海绵)，a towel or a mop. Which do you prefer？” He chose the sponge and together they up the spilled milk.
His mother then said，“You know，what we have here is a failed experiment in how to carry a big milk bottle with two hands. Let's go out in the back yard and fill the bottle with water and see if you can a way to carry it without dropping it. ”The little boy learned that if he grasped the bottle at the near the lip with both hands, he could make it. What a wonderful !
This scientist then remarked it was at that moment that he knew he didn’t need to be to make mistakes. Instead, he knew that mistakes were just for learning something new, which is, after all, what scientific are all about．Even if the experiment “doesn’t work”, we usually something valuable.

A great many people are disappointed because of unrealistic expectations.
Walking up to a department store’s 1 counter, an attractive young woman said, “I want to buy this material for a new dress. How much does it cost?”
“Only one 2 per yard,” replied the smirking (自鸣得意的) male clerk.
Not to be taken back by the funny words, the woman said, “That’s fine! I’ll take ten yards.”
With 3 written all over his face, the clerk hurriedly 4 out and wrapped the cloth, and then held it out teasingly, leaning forward to receive his “ 5 ”.
The woman got the package quickly from the clerk and pointed to a little old 6 standing beside her. “Grandpa will pay the bill instead of me,” she 7 .
He was no doubt disappointed. But in the course of living, many people are 8 when others do not 9 their expectations. In order to be happy, some expectations must be dropped. These three particular 10 and unhealthy expectations are some of the main causes:
1. Expect too much 11 .When others say, “Thank you,” or in any way to show their gratitude, be happy. It is a gift!

3. Expect not to be 13 . At times, people will simply not come through for you in the way you need. 14 them and move on.
Get rid of these three unrealistic expectations and you can begin to expect more15 right away!
