The boarding school held “failure week” to celebrate taking risks and learning from them. Whether in sports or school, children often face lots of pressure to succeed and do well, and the school was being concerned. “Young people from all walks of life live in a high pressure environment where they are trying very hard to achieve a level of perfection,” said Sue Bruce, head of personal and social education in the school. “This week at Fett es we have been focusing on one of the most misunderstood parts of success: failure. While we are often scared of failure, it is important to learn that it is only through failing, often many times, that we learn how to succeed. All through the week, we have looked at the experiences of some of the most successful inventors, artists and businessmen, who failed hundreds, if not thousands of times on their journey to success,” read a letter on Fettes College’s website. To celebrate failure, students were encouraged to try something they’ve never done before, like playing an instrument or dancing in front of audiences. A number of students stepped up and tried things that they finally failed in, but they had fun and enjoyed the experience. “The concert was extr emely enjoyable, proving that we should always try not to worry about failure and have a go!” read another note on the website.

B Humans have been keeping animals as pets for tens of thousands of years, but Dr JeanLoup Rault, an animal scientist at the University of Melbourne in Australia, believes new panions are ing: robot pets. “Technology is moving very fast, ” Rault told ABC News, “The Tamagotchi in the early 1990s was really the first robotic pet, and now Sony and other big panies have improved them a lot.” This may not sit well with pet lovers. After all, who would choose a plastic toy over a lovely puppy? But Rault argues that the robotic kind has a lot going for it: “You don’t have to feed it, you don’t have to walk it, it won’t make a mess in your house, and you can go on a holiday without feeling guilty.” The technology also benefits those who are allergic to pets, short on space, or fearful of real animals. It’s not clear whether robot pets can replace real ones. But studies do suggest that we can bond with
