He responded that, in his opinion,
it all came from a 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 lost his grip on the slippery bottle and it fell, spilling its contents all over the kitchen floor-a veritable sea of milk! opinion 主张 experience 经历 occur 发生 refrigerator 冰箱 lost grip

when his mother came into the kitchen, instead of yelling at him, giving him a lecture, or punishing him, she said “Robert, what a great and wonderful unless you have made, I have rarely seen such a huge puddle of milk. well, the damage
has already been done. would you like to get down and play in the milk for a few minutes before we clean it up? kitchen 厨房 yell

indeed，he did. after a few minutes, his mother said, you know, robert, whenever you make a mess milk. this eventually you have to clean it up and restore everything to its proper order. so, how would you like to do that? we could use a sponge, a towel or mop. which do you prefer? he chose the sponge and together they cleaned up the spilt milk. indeed 事实上 eventually 最终 restore 恢复 proper 完全 order 命令 sponge 海绵

his mother then said ,you know, what we have here if failed experiment in how to effectively carry a big milk bottle with tow tiny hands.let’s go out in the back yard and fill the bottle with water and see if you can discover a way to carry it without dropping it “,the little boy learned that if he grasped the bottle at the top near the lip with both hands, he could carry it without dropping it. what a wonderful lesson fail

the renowned scientist remarled that it was at that moment that he knew he didn’t need to be afraid to make mistakes. instead, he learned that mistakes
were just opportunities for learning something new, which is, after all, what scientific experiments are about. even if the experiment doesn’t work” we usually learn something valuable from it renown 知名的 remark
