In another way, failure may be a way towards success. The “spider story ”often told, Robert Bruce, leader of the Scots in the 13th century, was hiding in a cave from the English. He watched a spider spinning a web. The spider tried to reach across a rough place in the rock. He tried six times without success. On the seventh time he made it and went on to spin his web. Bruce is said to have taken heart and to have gone on to defeat the English. - Edison, the inventor of the light bulb, made hundreds of models that failed before he found the right way to make one.So what? First, always think about your failure. What caused it? Were conditions right? Were you in top form yourself? What can you change so things will go right next time?Second , is the goal (目标) youre trying to reach the right one ? Try to do some thinking about what your real goals may be. Think about this question, “If I do succeed in this, where will it get me ?”This may help you prevent failure in things you shouldnt be doing anyway.The third thing to bear in mind about failure is that its a part of life. Learn to “live with yourself ”even though you may have failed. Remember, “You cant win at all.”21. This passage deals with two sides of failure.

Edison learned a lot from the lesson the spider taught Robert Bruce.D. One may often raise a question whether his goals are worth attempting Passage TwoWhile the private schools may be charging too much, some of the publics are risking their futures by charging too little. Low tuition is fine, as the state assigns enough money to education, as has generally been the case in Texas and California. But for years, New Jerseys legendary resistance to taxes condemned Rutgers University to second-class status. “Of what real worth is a low-tuition policy,” wrote Rutgers former president, the late Edward Bloustein, “If it dooms students to an education below the quality they want and require?”New York States students might ask themselves the same. A series of protests pressured Governor Maria Cuomo into canceling a $200 rise in tuition last year (prices havent gone up since 1983). And whats the result? Greatly-reduced budgets, shabby campuses, course restrictions, limited library hors and various new student fees.The irony of New York and other state systems is that the percentage of higher-income students they serve is increasing at a phenomenal rate, says Arthur Hauptman of the American Council on Education. Given this changing population, more states should start playing the Robin Hood game increasing their sticker price, discounting rates to low-income students and using the rest of the money to raise the quality of their schools.The middle-class melt and the betterment of public universities are still in their very earliest stages. But these trends will intensify as the children of the burdened boomers reach college age. For the academics, its a wake-up call. In the next century, theyll have to be affordable and good. 26.
