Failure Teaches Success
Paul Ehrlich, a chemist, discovered a drug to treat those afflicted with syphilis(梅毒). It was named "Formula 606," because the first 605 tests were mistakes. The lesson we can draw from this story is clear and simple: discovery or progress is born in mistakes.
Making mistakes is a valuable learning experience. A now famous story at IBM involved founder Thomas Watson and one of his vice presidents who took the initiative on the development of a new product. As reported in Fortune, the product was a risky venture that ended up a colossal failure and cost the company $10 million. Watson called the executive into his office saying there was something he wanted to discuss with him. Sure he was about to lose his job; the young man blurted out, "I guess you want my resignation?" Watson replied, "You must be kidding. We've just spent $10 million educating you." Watson's logic is this: anyone making a multi-million-dollar mistake had to learn something that would help him do a better job the next time.
Furthermore, making mistakes gives one an opportunity to try a new approach. China's progress in the past decades is a case in point. After Liberation in 1949, China, under the leadership of Chairman Mao, gradually built up a nationwide state-run economy. This mode of economy was originally intended to ensure both stable economic development and social justice. Unfortunately, what it resulted in was economic stagnation and lasting poverty. Recognizing this fatal mistake in Mao's economic policy, Deng Xiaoping took a new approach—a gradual but dramatic reform. He first introduced some elements of market economy, hoping to juxtapose planned economy and market economy. This approach worked for some years, but then proved ineffective. Finally, after a series of trials and errors, he decided that market economy was China's only choice. Due to this strategic turning, China's economy has now embarked upon a stable and dynamic course. Although Mao's mistakes caused Chinese people painful sacrifice, we are lucky that we have learned our lessons and now we are marching on the road of prosperity.
Admittedly, mistakes will not automatically lead to discovery or progress. We must analyze every failure to find its cause; we must honestly face defeat and never fake success; we must exploit the failure, we must never use failure as an excuse for not trying again. In a word, we must learn how to fail intelligently.
As a saying goes, to err is human. To this I would add: To learn from errors is progress.

漢譯英:手機改變了人與人之間的關系。通常有注意到會議室的門上的告示,寫著―關閉手機。‖然而,會議室仍然充滿著鈴聲。我們都是普通人,沒有很多重要的事情。但是,我們也不愿輕易關閉手機。打開手機象征著我們與世界的聯系。手機反映出我們的社交饑渴。我們經常看到,一個人走著走著,就突然停下來了,眼睛盯著他的手機,不管他在那里,無論是在道路中心或旁邊有廁所。
漢譯英:朋友之間,情趣相投、脾氣對味則合、則交,反之,則離、則絕。朋友之間再熟悉、再親密,也不能隨便過頭、不恭不敬,這樣,默契和平衡將被打破,友好關系將不復存在。每個人都希望擁有自己的一片私密空間,朋友之間過于隨便,就容易侵入這片禁區,從而引起沖突,造成隔閡。待友不敬,有時或許只是一件小事,卻可能已埋下了破壞性的種子。維持朋友親密關系的最好辦法是往來有節,互不干涉。
