Running two miles on the playground isn't a fun thing to do for most students. But students in Miss Brown's class at Mark Twain School in the USA gladly put on their running shoes. They wanted to raise money to help a dog in need.
Miss Brown told her students about Peter, a dog who had a hard start in life. At less than a year old, Peter's owners found out that he was not healthy. Something was wrong with his body. Medicine could help but it was very expensive. For Peter to have a better life, he needed surgery (外科手术). But his owners couldn't afford that. Finally, they had to leave Peter at the animal hospital.
"I love dogs and when I hear about Peter, I felt so sad for him," says student Tony.
Miss Brown's class decided to hold a Jog-a-Thon to raise money for Peter's surgery.
"At first I felt like the Jog-a-Thon was just to get us to exercise," says Mike "but then I wanted to help this dog."
"I just wanted to make a difference in Peter's life," adds student Chance Wood.
News of the Jog-a-Thon spread throughout the school. Before long, five other classes also took part in the event. "I started receiving money from all kinds of people in our school community," says Miss Brown. "We raised $3,180.64 in all."

Reporter: {#blank#}1{#/blank#} Michael: I perform in the evenings, but luckily I don't have to get up early. So in the mornings I sleep in, then practice on the stage for 45 minutes. I have to do a lot of exercise before each show. Reporter: {#blank#}2{#/blank#} Michael: Because it's like a dream of flying. When you do a great performance on the trapeze, it's an unbelievable feeling. Reporter: {#blank#}3{#/blank#} Michael: Working at such a high level every day.

Mistakes are great teachers. Success comes to those who are willing to risk making mistakes to achieve their goals and wishes, and who are able to learn from those mistakes. And in order to learn from mistakes, you must be willing to pay for them.
Mistakes can be very valuable, but when you try to get others to pay for your mistakes, then you lose the chance to learn from them. When something goes wrong, it's usually very easy to find someone else's mistakes, but is that useful?
Much of the value of mistakes comes from the fact that they need a cost that must be paid. The person who learns the most from a mistake is the one who pays the price for that mistake.
When you make a mistake, what you shouldn't do is to run away from it. You need to accept it because you can learn a lot from it. The mistake has been made, so make the most of it. Pay the price, learn the lesson, and grow that much stronger.
When you make a mistake, don't look back at it long. Remember the causes, and then look forward. Mistakes are lessons of wisdom. The past cannot be changed. The present is still in your power. Make full use of your mistakes to achieve your goals and wishes.
