Positive Attitude towards Failure

I clearly remember a period during which I felt like a failure.But what I 31  learned was that failing at one thing is not failing at all things.And,in fact,failure is a 32  part of growth.Life is filled with trial and 33  .In order to walk the path to 34,you need to make some 35  turns along the way.What I learned was to"fail forward",to 36  each mistake to make myself better.One of the  37  problems people have with failure is that they are too quick to judge isolated 38  in their lives and label them as failures.39  ,they need to keep the bigger picture in mind.A successful baseball player doesn't 40  at a mistake he makes and think of failure.He sees it within the context of the bigger picture.

Remaining Active

Our body is an amazing object,26  If you are inactive most of the time,your body will quickly become tired when it should be active.But if you are very active,your body will get used to the hard work,and the work will become easier for you to do.

Physical activity can help people remain active and stay healthy.27  It also helps people sleep better.This is why active students don't complain about being tired.They have a good night's sleep and have the energy to study hard and have fun every day.

Physical activity also makes people look and feel good.Activity burns more calories(卡路里）than just sitting.28 In addition,regular exercise can make your muscles and bones stronger.

There are many factors to look at when you select a new physical activity.The most important is to choose something you enjoy.If you like jumping rope,that is the activity you should do.29  In fact,two days of basketball,three days of swimming,and two days of bicycling can be more fun than jogging every day. 

30  Some skills will improve with practice while others may always be difficult for you.If you enjoy an activity,feel free to do it.No one cares whether you can do it well or not,and you don't need to care about it either.

Whatever activity you choose,remain active.It can make you physically fit and healthy for life.
