Why You Should Celebrate Your Mistakes
When you make a mistake，big or small，cherish (珍视) it like it’s the most precious thing in the world.Because in some ways，it is.
Most of us feel bad when we make mistakes；beat ourselves up about it；feel like failures；get mad at ourselves.
And that’s only natural：most of us have been taught from a young age that mistakes are bad，that we should try to avoid mistakes.We’ve been scolded when we make mistakes—at home，school and work.Maybe not always，but probably enough times to make feeling bad about mistakes an unconscious reaction.
Yet without mistakes，we could not learn or grow.If you think about it that way，mistakes should be cherished and celebrated for being one of the most amazing things in the world：they make learning possible；they make growth and improvement possible.
By trial and error—trying things，making mistakes，and learning from those mistakes—we have figured out how to make electric light，to paint the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel，to fly.
Mistakes make walking possible for the smallest toddler，make speech possible，make works of genius possible.
Think about how we learn：we don’t just consume information about something and instantly know it or know how to do it.You don’t just read about painting，or writing，or computer programming，or baking，or playing the piano，and know how to do them right away.Instead，you get information about something，from reading or from another person or from observing usually...then you construct a model in your mind...then you test it out by trying it in the real world...then you make mistakes...then you revise the model based on the results of your real－world experimentation...and repeat，making mistakes，learning from those mistakes，until you’ve pretty much learned how to do something.That’s how we learn as babies and toddlers，and how we learn as adults.Mistakes are how we learn to do something new—because if you succeed at something，it’s probably something you already knew how to do.You haven’t really grown much from that success—at most it’s the last step on your journey，not the whole journey.Most of the journey was made up of mistakes，if it’s a good journey.
So if you value learning，if you value growing and improving，then you should value mistakes.They are amazing things that make a world of brilliance possible.
1．Why do most of us feel bad about making mistakes?
A．Because mistakes make us suffer a lot.
B．Because it’s a natural part in our life.
C．Because we’ve been taught so from a young age.
D．Because mistakes have ruined many people’s careers.
2．According to the passage，what is the right attitude to mistakes?
A．We should try to avoid making mistakes.
B．We should owe great inventions mainly to mistakes.
C．We should treat mistakes as good chances to learn.
D．We should make feeling bad about mistakes an unconscious reaction.
3．The underlined word “toddler” in Paragraph Six probably means________.
A．a small child learning to walk
B．a kindergarten child learning to draw
C．a primary pupil learning to read
D．a school teenager learning to write
4．We can learn from the passage that________.
A．most of us can really grow from success
B．growing and improving are based on mistakes
C．we learn to make mistakes by trial and error
D．we read about something and know how to do it right away
(2011·成都第二次诊断)
Don’t make sudden changes.Start slowly，by waking just 15 to 30 minutes earlier than usual.Get used to this for a few days.Then cut back another 15 minutes.Do this gradually until you get to your goal time.
Sleep earlier.You might be used to staying up late，perhaps watching TV or surfing the Internet.However，you just might fall asleep much sooner than you think.
Put your alarm away from your bed.You have to get up out of bed to shut it off.By then，you’re up.Now you just have to stay up.
Go out of the bedroom as soon as you shut off the alarm.Don’t find an excuse to go back to bed.My habit is to force myself into the bathroom.By the time I’ve washed my hand，and the toilet
of course，and looked at my ugly face in the mirror，I’m awake enough to face the day.
Allow yourself to sleep in once in a while，as long as it’s not a regular thing.I do it maybe once a week or so.
Make it a reward.At first you’re forcing yourself to do something hard，but if you do something pleasurable as part of your morning routine，soon you will look forward to waking up early.My reward used to be to make a hot cup of coffee for myself and read a book.Now I look outside (or better yet，get outside！) and watch the sky turn light.It’s beautiful.It’s now my favorite time of day.
Getting up early is a reward in itself for me and so will it be for you.
