Failure is how we learn. I have been told of an African phrase _____ a good cook as “she who has broken many pots”. If you have spent enough time in the _____ to have broken a lot of pots, probably you know a fair amount about ______. I once had a late dinner with a group of chefs, and they spent time ____ knife wounds and burn scars. They knew how much credibility (可信度) their ______ gave them.
I earn my _____ by writing a daily newspaper column. Each week I am _____ that one column is going to be the worst column of the week. I don’t just set out to write it; I try my best every day. _____, every week, one column is inferior (较差的) to the others, sometimes extremely so.
I have learned to ______ that column. A successful column usually means that I am treading (踏) on _____ ground, going with tricks that work, or dressing up popular ideas in fancy words. Often in my inferior columns, I am trying to ______ something I’ve never done before, something that I’m not even sure can be done.
My daughter is a perfectionist. She will feel her failures, and I will want to _______ her. But I will also, I hope, ______ her of what she learned, and how she can do _______ next time.
