In one way of thinking, failure is part of life. In       way, failure may be a way towards success. The “Spider-story” is often       .Robert Bruce , leader of the Scots in the 13 ^th century, was hiding in a cave from the English. He watched a spider       a web. The spider tried to reach across a rough        in the rock. He tried six times without success .On the        time he made it and went on to make his web. Bruce is said to have been encouraged by this and to have gone on to       the English . Edison , the inventor of the light bulb, made       models that failed before he found the right way to make one. Once he was asked         he kept on trying to make a new type of battery when he had failed so often, he replied, “Failure? I have         failure. Now I know 50,000 ways it won't        ”.
So what? First，always think about your failure. What caused       ？Were conditions right? Were you in top from yourself? What can you change? So things will go          next time.
Second, is the goal you're trying to reach the right one? Try to do some         about what your real goals may be. Think about this question. “If I do succeed in this, where will it get me?" This may help you prevent failure in things you shouldn't be doing any way.
The third thing to keep in        about failure is that it's a part of life. Learn to “live with yourself" even though you may have       ．
