As a young man, Gee Nissen was watching some artists performing in a show. He watched how they fell into the safety and then jumped back up again.

By trial and error—trying things, making mistakes, and learning from those mistakes—we have figured out how to make electric light, to paint the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel, to fly. Mistakes make walking possible for the smallest toddler, make speech possible, make works of talent possible. Think about how we learn: we don39。t just read about painting, or writing, or puter programming, or baking, or playing the piano, and know how to do them right away. Instead, you get information about something, from reading or from another person or from observing, then you make mistakes and repeat, making mistakes, learning from those mistakes, until you39。s how we learn as babies and toddlers, and how we learn as adults. Mistakes are how we learn to do something new—because if you succeed at something, it39。t really grown much from that success—at most it39。s a good journey. So if you value learning, if you value growing and improving, then you should value mistakes. They are amazing things that make a world of brilliance possible. 95. Why do most of us feel bad about making mistakes? A. Because it39。ve been taught so from a young age. 96. According to the passage, what is the right attitude to mistakes? A. We should try to avoid making mistakes. B. We should treat mistakes as good chances to learn. C. We should owe great inventions mainly to mistakes. D. We should make feeling bad about mistakes an unconscious reaction. 97. The underlined word toddler in Paragraph 6 probably means .

Making Mistakes I think that the main reason why we can39。s the kind of spirit that we need to have. Motivation(動(dòng)機(jī) ) Matters We39。t always reward good motivations.
