David was a third grader in my class. His worry about failure (失败) kept him from classroom games that other children enjoyed. He seldom answered my questions — he was afraid of making mistakes.
I tried my best to build his self-confidence. But nothing changed until the middle of the term, when Miss Lee, a new teacher, came. She was young and patient, and she was loved by every student including David. It was she who made a big difference to David later.
One morning, they were doing math problems at the blackboard (黑板). David had copied the problems at the blackboard clearly and carefully. But he missed the fourth problem and began to cry.
Suddenly, a smile appeared on Miss Lee’s face. From the desk, she got a box filled with pencils. “Look, David,” she said kindly. “I’ve got something to show you.” She took out the pencils and placed them on his desk.
“Look at these pencils, David,” she continued. “They are Mrs. Green’s. See how the erasers are worn (磨损) That’s because we make mistakes, too. But we erase (擦除) the mistakes and try again. That’s what you should learn to do, too.”
She patted (轻拍) him on the back and stood up. “Here,” she said, “I’ll leave one of these pencils on your desk, so you’ll remember that everyone makes mistakes, even teachers.” David looked up with love in his eyes and a smile. That together with Miss Lee’s encouragement, made him understand what the meaning of making mistakes is — it’s all right to make mistakes, as long as you erase them and try again.
