Spilt (打翻的)Milk
I recenlyheard a story about a famous scientist who had made several very importantmedical achievements. He was asked why he was so much more creative than theaverage person。
Heresponded that it all came from an experience when he was about two. He hadbeen trying to remove a bottle of milk from the refrigerator when he lost hisgrip (紧握) and it fell， spilling (打翻) the milk all over the floor。
When hismother came into the kitchen，instead of yelling at him, or punishinghim，she said,“Robert, what awonderful mess you have made! Well, the damage has already been done. Would youlike to play in the milk for a few minutes before we clean it up?”
Indeed, hedid，After a few minutes, his mother said,“Rober,whenever you make a mess like this, eventually you have to clean it up. So， how would you like to do that? We could use a sponge ( 海绵) or a towel. Which do you prefer?" He chose the sponge andtogether they cleaned up the spilt milk.
His motherthen said ,“You know， what we have here is a failed experiment inhow to effectively carry a big milk bottle with two tiny hands. Let' s go outin the back yard and fill the bottle with water and see if you can discover away to carry it without dropping it" The little boy learned that if hegrasped the bottle at the top near the lip with both hands，he could carry it without dropping it.
Thescientist remarked that it was then that he knew he didn’t need to be afraid tomake mi s takes. Instead, mistakes were. just opportunities for learningSomething new，which is, after all, what scientific experiments are a1labout. Even if the experiment" doesn’t work, ”we usually learn somethingvaluable from it.
