Last week, my granddaughter started kindergarten, and I wised her every success. But part of me didn’t. I actually wanted her to fail in some ways because I believe that failure can be good for our learning process. Success is proving that you can do something that you already know you can do , or doing something correctly the first time, which can often be a problematic(存在问题的)victory. First –time success is usually a fluke(侥幸),First-time failure ,by contrast, is supposed to be the natural order of things . Failure is how we learn.
In Africa they describe a good cook as “she who has broken many pots”, If you’ve spent enough time in the kitchen to have broken a lot of pots ,probably you know a fair amount about cooking. I once had dinner with a group of cooks ,and they spent time comparing knife wounds and burn scars ,They Knew how much credibility(可信)their failures gave them.
I earn my living by writing a daily newspaper column. Each week I am aware that one column I write is going to be the worst column. I try my best every day. I have learned to cherish that column. A successful column usually means that I am discussing a familiar topic, writing in a style I am used to or saying the same things as anyone else but in fancy way.
My younger daughter is a trapeze artist. She spent three years putting together a show, and she did it successfully for years. There was no reason for her to change it but she did anyway. She said she was no longer learning anything new and she was bored. And if she was bored , there was no point in subjecting(使服从于) her body to all that stress. She risked failure and great public embarrassment in order to feed her soul.
My granddaughter is a perfectionist. She will feel her failures ,and I will want to comfort her. But I sill also ,I hope, remind her of what she learned ,and how she can do better next time. I hope I can tell her, though ,that it’s not the end of the world. Indeed, with luck ,it is the beginning.
