In the late afternoon, 15-year-old Saanya Hasan Ali can often be found in her comfortable family room. She is cutting, drawing, gluing and folding, surrounded by a colorful chaos of paper, rubber stamps, buttons, and ribbons (带). "I just love arts and crafts (手工艺)," says Saanya. During the past six years, Saanya has raised $26,000 through the sale of her cards to help children and families in need.
"My mother received an e-mail from Pennies for Education and Health (PEH) organization. They were raising money for children in India to be able to go to school," explains Saanya, who was nine years old at the time. Her mother, Salma, offered to donate $75 in Saanya's name. Saanya made cards to sell at a family wedding that summer. To her own surprise, she earned $600, enough to send eight children to school for the year. "I kept on making cards, and the following summer I was able to help support the kids for another year,"" explains Saanya. Saanya acknowledges that her project has helped her to see the world through different eyes. "Now that I am in high school, I would also like to inspire other kids to do their own projects. Making cards is my small effort," she says. "If everyone does their small part, it can grow into something beyond your expectations."
Questions you should ask yourself when you fail
The more new things we try the more failure we are likely to have.{#blank#}1{#/blank#}. Experiencing failure can be a learning experience and an opportunity for a fresh start. A good way to begin this process is by asking yourself some tough questions.
⑴What can I learn from this?
Take responsibility for what went wrong. OK, so it was not all your fault—but some of it was. Successful people don't make excuses or blame others. {#blank#}2{#/blank#} So you should look at the experience objectively(客观地).
⑵Do I need to acquire or improve some skills?
Did the problem reveal some lack of skill on your part? How could you learn or improve those skills? Perhaps there are books or courses or people you could turn to. {#blank#}3{#/blank#}
⑶Who can I learn from?
Is there someone to whom you can turn for advice? Did a boss, colleague or friend see what happened? {#blank#}4{#/blank#}. Most people do not ask for help because they believe it to be a sign of weakness rather than strength. It's not. It shows that you are ready to learn and change.
⑷What will I do next?
Now draw up an action plan. Will you try something similar or something different? Revisit your goals. Failure doesn't mean you have to give up; maybe you just need to change it in another way. {#blank#}5{#/blank#}
A. You can now reset your sights on your destination and plan a new course. B. Make them step stones to future success. C. They take responsibility for the failure. D. In fact the only way to avoid failure is to do nothing new. E. The important thing is how we deal with failure. F. Make a self-development plan to acquire the skills and experience you need. G. If they are constructive and supportive then ask them for some feedback (反馈) and guidance. |
