We can choose failure, but we can’t choose fear. That’s like what James Cameron said “Failure Is an Option, but Fear Is Not” at the end of his TED talk and I love it. We shouldn’t be afraid of facing failure, try to accept it and learn from it.
Make room for failure
Nobody wants to fail, but failure is often on your way to success. Geprge Bernard Shaw said, “A life spent making mistakes is not only more honorable(可敬的), but more useful than a life spent doing nothing.” So if you never fail then it probably means that you do nothing. Failure shows that you actually do something instead of just sitting in your comfortable seat.
Learn from each failure
Don’t just fail and get nothing out of it. Learn something from each failure that makes you better and better.
Fail fast
Time is precious, so if you failed then you’d better fail fast. Why? Because it will make you learn and improve faster. Don’t wait until everything is perfect. Instead, test your idea in the real world as soon as possible.
Don’t choose fear
Many people don’t want to work on something unknown. But fear is not a good choice, so you should be willing to try out your new ideas. Even if you aren’t successful, you will still come out better than before.

We all have our favorite teachers—those who seem truly interested. But what about teachers we don’t know as well or even don’t like much? You can do lots of things to get a good relationship with your teacher.
First, try to be a good student: go to class on time, finish all homework on time, be active in the class and ask questions often.
Second, show an interest in the subject that the teacher teaches. Obviously(显然地), your teachers are really interested in their subjects. Showing the teacher that you care—even if you’re not good at math or French—sends the message that you are a dedicated students. Then the teacher may pay more attention to you.
Third, you can also often have a talk with your teacher when he is free. Use this time to get extra help, ask questions, talk about the subject, or talk about your progress in class. You may be surprised to learn that one-on-one communication for your teacher is a bit more relaxed than lecturing(讲课) in front of the whole class.

It was the last day of the final examination in a college. On the steps of the building, a group of engineering students were waiting for the last exam .On their faces was confidence. They knew the exam would be easy. The professor (a teacher at a college) had said they could bring any books and notes during the test.
Right after they came into the classroom,the professor handed out the papers.There are only five questions on it.
Three hours passed. Then the professor began to collect the papers.The students no longer looked confident. On their faces was nervous expression. The professor watched the worried faces before him, and asked, “How many of you have completed all five questions?” No hand was raised. “How many of you have answered four?” Still no hands. Three? Two?” The students moved restlessly in their seats. “One, then?” Certainly someone has finished one. But the class kept silent. The professor said, “That is exactly I expected. I just want to make you know clearly that even though you have completed four years of engineering. There are still many things about the subject you don’t know. These questions you could not answer are common in everyday practice.” Then,smiling,he added, “You will all pass this course, your education has just begun.”

Yesterday,I overheard our 9-year-old son,Aaron,talking to his friend,Zach.

“Oh,we are doing something called Simplicity plan,so I basically got rid of 80% of my stuff(物品). ”
“What? Did your mom and dad make you do this?”
“No, Idecided to do it because I wanted to.When I give away a lot of my things,I make room for family activities. I did it because I wanted to live differently and have less stuff in my life.”
“But still,why would you choose to get rid of most of your toys?”
“Part of the reason is that my parents were doing it with their stuff .And my mom talked to me about it and explained how they felt happier afterwards. And I thought maybe I really had spent a lot of my time in my room playing with toys instead of spending time with my parents and sister.”
“Seriously?”
“I feel proud because I am a person who has just what I need and not more. And I’m starting
new activities like writing how I feel,reading more,and spending more time doing housework around the house.”
“OK.Let me get this. You have fewer toys,more housework,and you feel happier?”
“Well, it’s not that the housework is fun ,But I do it with my parents. We talk and connect while we are doing it, so that is the fun.And we’ve been doing more activities together, like reading aloud at night.
