138 "only through mistakes can there be discovery or progress"


     The creative director of an advertising agency once said that he isn't happy unless he is failing at least half of the time. As he puts it,” If you are going to be original, you are going to be wrong a lot" .Another client, the president of a fast-growing computer company, tells his people:” We’re innovators. We’re doing things nobody has ever done before. Therefore, we are going to be making mistakes. My advice to you: make your mistakes, but make them in a hurry." In deed, I strongly agree with that discovery and progress are made only through mistakes.
      Retrospect the whole history, the great individuals is the person which undertakes trial-and-error. Columbus thought he was finding a shorter route to India. Madame Curie thought failed experiences to found out the unknown radiation. Johannes Kepler stumbled on to the idea of interplanetary gravity because of assumptions which were right for the wrong reasons. And, Thomas Edison knew 1800 ways not to build a light bulb. Therefore both so-called "mistakes" were necessary for science and knowledge to advance, or progress, or to update.
     Most people consider success and failure as opposites, but in my personal view they are actually both products of the same progress and discovery. It is the same with take opportunities to acquire progress; the same with original and creative thinking; the same energy which generates good creative ideas also produces errors. If you're not making many mistakes, you should ask yourself" How many opportunities am I missing by not being more aggressive, excellent and superiority?"
    Consider these two benefits of failure .In the one hand, if you do fail, you learn what doesn’t work. And the errors tell us when to change direction. Negative feedback means that the current approach is not working, and it is up to you to figure out a new one. On the other hand, the failure gives you an opportunity to try a new approach. If we did things correctly every time, we would never have to change direction-we'd just continue the current course and end up with more of the same. When things are going smoothly, we generally don't think about them.
In sum, the speaker correctly asserts that it is through mistakes that discovery and true progress are made. Mistakes provide the very foundation for discovery and true progress, in all realms of human endeavor.

25"Anyone can make things bigger and more complex. What requires real effort and courage is to move in the opposite direction—in other words, to make things as simple as possible."25． 每个人都能把事情搞大搞复杂。而真正需要努力的却是相反的—-------即要把事情越简单化越好
1复杂事情简单话是一种美德
2 有些事情是没有办法简单解决的
108."In many countries it is now possible to turn on the television and view government at work. Watching these proceedings can help people understand the issues that affect their lives. The more kinds of government proceedings - trials, debates, meetings, etc. - that are televised, the more society will benefit."108． 在很多国家，人们一打开电视就能看到政府人员办公的场景。观看这样的场景有助于人们理解影响他们生活的决议。政府办公的过程，如日常事物、辩论、会议等，向人们开放得越多，人们就越能从中受益
1政府办公透明化有助于人们监督
2 官员生活公开化有利于人们避免腐败
167."It is impossible for an effective political leader to tell the truth all the time. Complete honesty is not a useful virtue for a politician." 167． 一个好的政治领导在任何时候都能告诉大家事实的真相是可能的。但是对于政治来说，太诚实并不见得是一个美德New
1 太诚实不见得是美德，但从某种意义上说也是信任的基础
2 如果连政府都无诚信可言，要欺骗百姓，又哪里来的领导能力呢
214."Society should identify those children who have special talents and abilities and begin training them at an early age so that they can eventually excel in their areas of ability. Otherwise. these talents arc likely to remain undeveloped." 214． 社会应该找出那些具有特殊天才和特殊能力的孩子，并在他们小时候就训练他们，这样他们最终就能超越他们的同龄人。否则他们的特殊的潜能和可能就被浪费掉。
1什么才是特殊的天才和特殊能力的孩子呢？如何定义呢？
2 如何训练怎样培养，是培养成专才还是通才？如果这样培养了那其他的孩子怎么办？

In deed, I strongly agree with that discovery and progress are made only through mistakes.(这两个引用好贴切啊,是从哪儿招来的?还是自己的?)
      Retrospect the whole history, the great individuals is the person which undertakes trial-and-error. Columbus thought he was finding a shorter route to India. Madame Curie thought failed experiences to found out the unknown radiation. Johannes Kepler stumbled on to the idea of interplanetary gravity because of assumptions which were right for the wrong reasons. And, Thomas Edison knew 1800 ways not to build a light bulb. Therefore both so-called "mistakes" were necessary for science and knowledge to advance, or progress, or to update.(这几个例子都很贴切)
     Most people consider success and failure as opposites, but in my personal view they are actually both products of the same progress and discovery. It is the same with take opportunities to acquire progress; the same with original and creative thinking; the same energy which generates good creative ideas also produces errors. If you're not making many mistakes, you should ask yourself" How many opportunities am I missing by not being more aggressive, excellent and superiority?"(有个问题想讨论一下,成功和失败能和对与错等同吗?我在写的时候也有这个疑问.)

In sum, the speaker correctly asserts that it is through mistakes that discovery and true progress are made. Mistakes provide the very foundation for discovery and true progress, in all realms of human endeavor.
小结:本来觉得光从反面说会比较难说,看了这篇文章很受启发.特别是引用很贴切.
