宁夏回族自治区2022年中考英语真题
While we were growing up, our parents often said things like, "Look at that boy, he swims so well! He is such a talent(人才)." Such words made us believe that if we were not born a talent, we would never do things well. So we were afraid to try new things, and were afraid of making mistakes or failing. But in fact, failures(失败) and mistakes are as important as success.
Sarah is lucky. She has a great father. As a child, her father asked her the same question every weekend. "What did you fail at this week, Sarah?" He did not care too much about her grades. He cared more about what she had tried but failed at. When she told him about her failures and mistakes, he would give her a high five(举手击掌).
Do you realize what her father was doing? He was trying to make her believe that failures and mistakes are just fine. And they were a huge part of our growth and success. Most importantly, her father was telling her that she would still be loved and trusted even if she failed. Encouraged by the weekend communications, Sarah has grown into a successful businesswoman.In her journey, she has tried many new jobs and had many difficulties,but she never lost heart. Because she knew her failures and mistakes would be embraced(接受) on the weekend.
So go ahead and ask yourself and your children, "What did we fail at this week?"
