第一天美文晨读Remember, there is no such thing as failure. There is only education记住！没有真正的失败，只是成长教育而已。

When we feel like we have failed at something, discouragement often follows. However, failure doesn’t really exist, except for the meaning that we give it. If we don’t get the result that we want, when we want it, we just need to take new action.当我们认为某些事情失败之后，低落感也随之而来。

然而，失败并不真正的存在，除非我们给事情赋予了失败的含义。

如果我们没有及时得到想要的结果，只需要采取新的行动。

We can choose, instead of thinking of failure as bad, to think of failure as education, and therefore good. When we view it this way we realize that failure isn’t something that is bad, or something to be avoided. It is simply feedback. When we think this way we ease discouragement.与其把失败当成是一件坏事，我们可以选择把失败看成是一种成长教育，一件好事。

如果这样看待问题，我们就会知道失败并不是什么坏事或者需要尽力避免的事情，只是一个小挫折而已。

这样想，低落感就能减轻啦。
