从错误中学习 Learn From Mistakes

As Goethe says, “man errs so long as he strives”, no one can avoid making mistakes. Therefore, what we need to do is to recognize and revise our mistakes and learn from them.

正如歌德所说：“人只要奋斗就会犯错误”，任何人都会犯错。因此，我们需要做的是承认错误，改正错误，并从中学习。

For one thing, from mistakes, we learn to be more careful and observant. Small though a mistake is, it can destroy the whole plan that we are engaged in. Therefore, in the process of finding mistakes, we are also shaping our characteristics of carefulness and cautiousness and strengthen our capacity of observation. We understand that success consists of details and we could not ignore the smallest mistakes.

一方面，从错误中，我们要学会更加细心，学会观察入微。一个错误再小，但也能破坏我们从事的整个计划。因此，在发现错误的过程中，我们同时也在形成细心谨慎的性格，加强我们的观察能力。我们会明白成功是由细节组成的，我们不能忽视哪怕是最小的错误。

For another, the process of finding and revising mistakes is also a process of changing our way of thinking. In many cases, we find that our mistakes are not in what we have done, but in the methods we have used. Thus, when we find that we are wrong, we would try another way to carry out our plan. In this process, we are trying to think in other ways and our capacity of thinking is also improved.

另一方面，发现错误、改正错误的过程也是改变我们的思考方式的过程。在很多情况下，我们发现我们的错误并不在于我们所做的事情，而在于我们所使用的方式。因此，当我们发现我们犯了错，我们就会尝试另外的方法来实施我们的计划。在这个过程中，我们试着用另外的方式思考，我们的思考能力同时也得到了提高。

In a word, mistakes are inevitable but we have to take a proper attitude towards them. And making mistakes is not totally a bad thing because we can learn some enlightenment from it.

总之，错误是不可避免的，但是我们要采取正确的态度去对待。同时犯错也不完全就是坏事，因为我们可以从中学到一些启示。
