There Is This Story About A Famous
Research Scientist Who Had Made ,
Several Very Important Medical Breakthroughs.
He Was Being Interviewed By A Newpaper
Reporter Who Asked Him Why He ,
Thought He Was Able To Be So Much
Creative Than The Average Person.
What Set Him So Far Apart From Other?
He Responded That , In His Opinion
It All Came From An Experience
With His Mother That Occurred When He Was About
4 Years Old, He Had Been Trying To Remove
A Bottle Of Milk From The Refrigerator ,
When He Lost His Grip On The Slippery Bottle
And It Fell Spilling Its Contents All Over The Kitchen
Floor - A Veritable Sea Of Milk".
When His Mother Came Into The Kitchen ,
Instead Of Yelling At Him,
Giving Him A Lecture , Or Punishing Him ,
She Said "Robert What A Great And
Wonderful Mess You Have Made',
I Rarely Seen Such A Huge Puddle Of Milk
Well The Damage Has Already Been Done.
Would You Like To Get Down And Play In
The Milk For A Few Minutes Before We Clean,
It Up ?, Indeed He Did.
After A Few Minutes His Mother Said ,
You Know Robert, Whenever
You Make A Mess Like This ,
Eventually You Have To Clean It Up
And Restore Everything To Its Proper Order.
So How Would Like To Do That ?
We Could Use A Sponge , A Towel Or A Mop
Which Do You Prefer ?
He Chose The Sponge And Together
They Cleaned Up The Spilled Milk.
His Mother Then Said, You Know What We
Have Here Is A Failed Experiment In How
Effectiely Carry A Big Milk Bottle
With Two Tiny Hands , Let's Go Out In The Back Yard
And Fill The Bottle With Water And See If
You Can Discover A Way To Carry It
Without Dropping It".
Without Dropping It".
The Little Boy Learned That If He Grasped
The Bottle At The Top Near The Lip With
Both Hands , He Could Carry It Without Dropping It ,
This Renowned Scientist
Then Remarked That It Was At That Moment
That He Knew He Didn't Need To Be Afraid
To Make Mistakes.
Instead He Learned That Mistakes Were Just
Opportunites For Experiments Are All About.
Even If The Experiment " Doesn't Work" ,
We Usually Learn Something Valuable From It.
Wouldn't It Be Great If All Parents Would
Respond The Way Robert's Mother Responed
To Him ?, Wouldn't It Be Wonderful
If We Could All Respond
To People Who Manage In A Similar Manner Too ?
Help Someone Learn From His/ Her Mistakes?.
