    Each of us makes mistakes from time to time. In fact, we can1 a lot from our mistakes.

    Donnie was a 2 student and never answered questions in class. He was afraid to make mistakes. He never finished his homework 3 he didn't want to make any mistakes. Nothing changed until Marry Anne, a teacher, came to our4 

    One morning, Marry Anne asked Donnie to 5 some questions. After a while Donnie was in tears because he made a mistake. Suddenly Marry Anne got a box full of erasers from the desk.

    "Look, Donnie," she said standing 6 him. "I've got something to show you." She took out the erasers, one at a time, and put them on the desk.

    "See these erasers, Donnie?" she continued (继续). "Do you know 7 the erasers become smaller and smaller? That's because we make mistakes. But we erase the mistakes and try again. That's what you must learn."

    "Here," she said, "I'll 8 one eraser on your desk, so you will remember that 9 may make mistakes."

    Donnie looked at Marry Anne and smiled.

    Donnie 10a lot from then on. He knew that everyone had the permission (许可) to make mistakes as long as you learned them and tried again.

Comfort Zone

    I would never forget what I learned from the day when I left my junior high school. On the last day our teacher told us something1that I would like to share with you.

    He began by drawing a man standing in the middle of a circle. To make it more interesting, he drew things like a house, a car and a few friends inside the circle.

    He asked, "Can anyone tell me what this is?" In a long silence, one student decided to2his idea," The world?" The teacher said, "That's close. This is your Comfort Zone. Inside your circle you have all the things that are important to you. Your home, your family, your friends and your job. People feel that inside this circle they are safe from any3."

    "Can anyone tell me what happens when you step out of this circle?" A strong silence came over the room. The same student replied," You are afraid." Another student said, "You may make mistakes." The silence continued and our teacher smiled and asked," When you make mistakes, what can the result be?" The first student said," You4something."

    "Exactly, you are learning." Our teacher turned to the blackboard and drew an arrow（箭头）5from the man to the outside of the circle. He went on saying," When you leave your Comfort Zone, you put yourself out there, in a6that you are not comfortable with, The result is that you learn something that you did not know and you enlarge your knowledge to become a better person." He turned again to the blackboard and drew a bigger circle around the original（原来的）circle, and7a few new things like more friends, a big house, etc.

    A lesson from this story is that if you stay inside your Comfort Zone you will never be able to open your eyes to the outside world and learn, When you step out of your Comfort Zone, you will8make your circle bigger to challenge your mind and grow to be stronger, and all in all be a better person.

    His friend meets him again and asks him to buy a 8 one.

    But Einstein says,” I needn't buy a new one. 9 knows 10 here.”
