People often say that “failure is the mother of success”. 36． As a result, Manalo, a professor of educational psychology in Japan says, “We know we shouldn’t give up when we fail—but in reality, we do.”
Manalo and Manu, a professor of learning sciences in Swiss, put together a special issue (专利) last December on benefiting from failure. The issue’s 15 studies provide teachers and educational researchers with a guide for achieving success. 37． Another confirmed that advice on failures is most constructive when the receiver is prepared to experience unpleasant feelings.
Manalo and his co-authors also focused on overcoming one everyday form of failure: not completing a task. They asked 131 students to write an article about their school experiences. Half of the students received instructions for their writing, and half were left to their own. 38． Afterward the researchers found that those in the instructed group were more willing to complete their articles, compared with those who lacked guidance—even if the latter were closer to being done. 39．
40． Stephanie Couch, the director of the Lemelson-MIT Program, holds the opinion. Couch, whose work was also featured in the special issue, says that we should tell them to think of failure as part of a process toward success.
A．However, all were stopped before finishing.
B．The saying shows the importance of success.
C．Teaching students not to fear failure makes goals achieved more easily.
D．One study reported that the sooner students fail, the sooner they can move forward.
E. Though having some truth to it, the saying does not tell us how to turn a loss into a win.
F. They believed that learning how to fail can help people avoid becoming lasting failures.
G. Knowing how to finish, in other words, was more important than being close to finishing.
