It’s almost impossible to go through life without experiencing some kind of failure.（人的一生不可能没有某种失败的经历。）But, the wonderful thing about failure is that it’s entirely up to us to decide how to look at it.（但是，奇妙的是对于失败，完全取决于我们决定如何看待它。）
We can choose to see failure as 
“the end of the world.”（我们可以认为失败是“世界末日”。） Or, we can look at failure as the incredible learning experience that it often is.（或者，我们把失败看作极好的学习经历，它通常就是如此。）Every time we fail at something, we can choose to look for the lesson we’re meant to learn.（每一次我们碰到在一些事情上的失败，我们可以认为是我们正在找寻的本打算学习的经验教训。）These lessons are very important; they’re how we grow, and how we keep from making that same mistake again.（这些教训非常重要；它们使我们如何成长，如果避免再次犯同样的错误。）Failures stop us only if we let them.（失败阻止我们仅仅是因为我们让它阻止我们。）
Failure can also teach us things about ourselves that we would never have learned otherwise.（失败能教给我们那些我们永远无法从其他途径获得的东西。）For instance, failure can help you discover how strong a person you are.（例如，失败能帮助你发现你有多坚强。）Failing at something can help you discover your truest friends, or help you find
unexpected motivation to succeed.（在某些事情上的失败可以助你发现最真诚的朋友，或者助你发现意料之外通向成功的动力。）
玉不琢不成器，人不学不知道。
