It’s good to make mistakes, and here is why．
First of all, mistakes are a clear 36 that you are trying new things．It’s always 37 to try new things because when you are trying new things you are 38 ．If you never try anything new, how can you 39 ? The simple answer is “You can’t”．With few exceptions, every single detail of development is the 40 of someone trying something new．
When you are making mistakes, you are 41 ．Edison failed 10,000 times before he 42 the light bulb．When asked how it felt to 43 that many times, he said that he hadn’t failed 10,000 times, but rather had learned 10,000 things that didn’t 44 ．
Finally, when you make a mistake you are much 45 to success．Why ?
When all is done, you will have tried some number of things before you succeed． 46 you make a mistake you eliminate (排除) one of those things and are one step closer．
But this all doesn’t mean that you should go ahead 47 considering the consequences of a mistake．Quite the contrary, when you try something new, you 48 be willing to set some reasonable limits, so that in the event that it doesn’t 49 the way you want it to, you will be in a position to try again．
We all have 50 resources in time and money, so don’t blow them all on one 51 to a problem．Realize that it probably won’t be perfect the first time, and allocate (分配) these resources properly so you can learn, 52 corrections, and try it again．Only by 53 and using your mistakes in this way, can you make significant 54 in your business or career．
As an old saying goes, “If you’re not making mistakes, you’re not trying hard enough．”
So go 55 and make mistakes．And learn．And grow．And succeed．
