Only through mistakes can there be discovery or progress.
"Failure is mother to success", the proverb has propagated by generations, and get the admit of people. In human history, we can find many important discoveries or progress are obtained through the endeavor and incessant failure of ancestors. But we should realize that there are many ways to attain success not only through mistakes.
Admittedly, mistakes play a vital role in the development of human civilization. Since we were in childhood, our parents and teachers told us that through committing mistakes, you can find the right way to success. And in the books, we find many important discoveries and progress are related with failure. The well-known scientist Edison had said that, he known a thousand of ways to be failed in producing the light bulb, at the same time he known the only way to successfully to invent light bulb. Also as a postgraduate in biology, I deeply appreciate the position of failure in research. After many experiments which are failed due to many inevitable accidents or reasons, we find the correct method to accomplish my first step which is only one part of the whole task. The failure can make us maintain practical serious attitude towards what we are doing now, after carefully analysis of failure, we can discriminate the only correct way from many illusions and immature minds or behaviors.
At the same time, we must emphasize that it does not encourage people to commit mistakes actively. If people take action under this mind, the progress of society would be nonsense, and many discoveries are only under the cover of dust of history. We should discriminate the passive mistakes and active mistakes, the former is inevitable but the latter can be avoid by our endeavor and effort.
However, though the failure can facilitate us to progress and discover, we must know that in the world there are many kinds of methods that can promise us to make discovery or progress successfully. According to our experiences and knowledge that are handed from our ancestors, we can avoid unnecessary failure to finish our goal. For instance, under the guidance of knowledge, we can discover the new rules and principles in physics, chemistry and other fields; making circumspect and detailed plans before action can permit our science and technology progress rapidly. In the history of human civilization, we also can find many successful discoveries that correctly avoid the unnecessary failures. Under the direction of former theory in biology and thorough consideration in mathematics and chemistry, Watson and Crick proposed the famous spiral theory about the structure of nuclear acid. Therefore, without committing the unnecessary failure, human also can make great discovery or progress.
To sum up, people do not feel frustrated when they meet failure, because after the well-rounded analysis, they can find the breakthrough of these problems. And what need us more attention is that through our thorough consideration and profound knowledge and rich experience, people also can progress greatly, at the same time avoid committing mistakes. |
