第二节 七选五。
It is good to make mistakes, and here's why.
66． It's always good to try new things because when you are trying new things you are growing. If you never try anything new, how can you improve, bow can you expand, and how can you innovate? The simple answer is “You can't”. 67． With very few exceptions, everything you see in your physical world is The result of someone trying something new. Every single detail of every single thing is the result of someone trying something new. The chair you're sitting on; the fabric on the chair; the pattern on the fabric on the chair; the dye in the pattern on the fabric on the chair are all the direct result of someone trying something new.
68．_Consider this: Edison failed l0 000 times before he perfected the light bulb. When asked how it felt to fail that many times, he remarked that he hadn't failed t0 00~ times, but rather had learned I0 000
things that didn't work.
Finally, when you make a mistake you are that much closer to success. Why?
Because when all is said and done, you will have tried some finite number of things before you succeed.
69． _
_70．_ Quite the contrary, when you try something new you have to be willing to set some reasonable limits so that, in the event that it doesn't work out the way you want it to, you will be in a position to try again.
There is an old axiom that goes, “if you're not making mistakes, you're not trying hard enough.”
So go forth and make mistakes, and learn, and grow, and prosper.
A. Look around you.
B. First of all, mistakes are a clear sign that you are trying new things.
C. Every time you made a mistake you eliminated one of those things and are one step closer.
D. Another good thing about mistakes is this: when you are making mistakes, you are learning.
E. But this all doesn't mean that you should forge ahead with disregard for the consequences of a mistake.
F. Only by embracing and using your mistakes in this way can you make significant advances in your business and your career.
G. Can you imagine how many mistakes were made before all of these individual materials and components were perfected and then assembled into the automobiles we know today?

Three years ago I fail an important exam in my life and became a student in a ordinary school. Disappointing as I felt at the shabby campus and the poorly-equipped classroom, I found the teachers patiently. Besides, I enjoyed the friendly atmosphere in class. I decided make the best of it. I worked hard and got along well with my teachers and classmate. Whenever I had difficulties, you were always available. Soon I became one of the most best students in my class.
My experience tells me that it’s not what you are given and how you make use of it which determines who you are.

A possible version:
Dear Steven,
Iwould like to invite you to the annual Coming-of-age Ceremony of our school.
This big event will be held in the school auditorium from 9 am to 11am on March 12. All the Senior Three students are expected to attend it with the company of their parents and teachers.
The Coming-of-age Ceremony is really a good chance for us students to express our utmost gratitude to our beloved parents as well as our patient teachers. Meanwhile, it will turn a new page in our life, which means we have grown up and it is time we should shoulder more responsibilities for the family and society.
I’d appreciate it if you could come and share the unforgettable moment with us. I’m looking forward to your arrival!
Yours,
