这位著名的科学家随后讲到，就在那个时候，他知道他无需担心会犯错误。相反，他意识到错误恰恰是我们学习新知识的一个机会，而这一点，正是科学实验的本质。即使实验完全失效，我们依然能从中学到一些有价值的东西。
如果所有的父母都能像那位母亲一样去教育引导自己的孩子，那将会多么的激动人心。
I recently heard a story from Stephen Glenn
He responded that, in his opinion, it all came from an experience with his mother that occurred when he was
When his mother came into the kitchen, instead of yelling at him, giving him a lecture or punishing him, she said, "Robert, what a great and wonderful mess you have made! I have rarely seen such a huge puddle of milk. Well, the damage has already been done. Would you like to get down and play in the milk for a few minutes before we clean it up?"
Indeed, he did. After a few minutes, his mother said, "You know, Robert, whenever you make a mess like this, eventually you have to clean it up and restore everything to its proper order. So, how would you like to do that? We could use a sponge, a towel or a mop. Which do you prefer?" He chose the sponge and together they cleaned up the spilled milk.
His mother then said, "You know, what we have here is a failed experiment in how to effectively carry a big milk bottle with two tiny hands. Let's go out in the back yard and fill the bottle with water and see if you can discover a way to carry it without dropping it." The little boy learned that if he grasped the bottle at the top near the lip with both hands, he could carry it without dropping it. What a wonderful lesson!
This renowned scientist then remarked that it was at that moment that he knew he didn't need to be afraid to make mistakes. Instead, he learned that mistakes were just opportunities for learning something new, which is, after all, what scientific experiments are all
Wouldn't it be great if all parents would respond the way Robert's mother responded to him?
