A few seconds after launch, the missile wobbled like a drunk, white smoke came out of its head, and then the engine caught fire. 2 1 s, the missile was completely out of control, and 69 seconds later, the missile crashed.
"Dongfeng II" failed to launch for the first time, and everyone's mood was very heavy. The day after the failed launch, Wang Bingzhang and Qian Xuesen, two deans of Laowu Hospital, arrived at the launch site by special plane. In the face of Marshal Nie Rong Zhen, everyone was uneasy, didn't know the cause of the failure, was puzzled, and strongly blamed himself and felt annoyed.
Nie Rongzhen looked at the comrades around him and said at the first sentence: Since it is a scientific experiment, there will always be successes and failures. If we succeed, we will gain experience; If we fail, we will learn from it! Success, the credit is yours, failure, the responsibility is mine!
Second, J.K. Rowling

But when she reached the bottom of her life, she realized that she still had a great daughter, an old typewriter and an idea that could be the basis for her to rebuild her life. Maybe you've heard of Harry? Porter.
"Maybe you'll never taste my failure," Rowling told her honor student audience. "No one knows what failure is all his life, but your life will not leave a mark in your world unless you have been living carefully. Such a person is actually a loser because he missed his life.
"Only after trying various possibilities can a person truly know himself and realize the power contained in himself. At this time, what you realize is the real gift from God, because you got it through pain. For me, it is more valuable than all my qualifications. "

In a basement in Atlanta, which he dubbed "Zaman Market", he operated a computer, a telephone and a fax machine, and provided consulting for famous companies such as Microsoft and Brewing Machinery Group. His creed is: "break the rules and take risks."
Under the guidance of this creed, Zaman has successfully planned one development strategy after another for a large number of customers represented by Microsoft and Miller Brewing Company. One day, Robert, the president of Coca-Cola Company, came to consult him personally and invited him to go back and rectify the company's work. He said to Zaman, "We have lost our competitiveness because we can't tolerate mistakes. In fact, as long as one person exercises, it will inevitably be awkward. "

Five, the eagle and the chicken
The hunter came across Ying Chao, with two eagle eggs in it. The hunter took the eagle egg home. He wanted to train two falcons, so he put them in the eggs hatched by hens at home. After the hen hatched, the baby eagle and the chicken were born soon. Hens are taking care of them, and no one can see the difference between an eagle and a chicken.
The two young eagles grow up slowly, and their bodies are more and more different from other chickens, but their lifestyles have not changed. They can only peck at food with sharp claws and mouths. One day, an eagle flew over the sky, and the chickens all hurried to hide. Only two baby eagles still stood there with their heads held high and said loudly, "If only I could fly like an eagle one day!" " However, their words drew ridicule.
The hen turned around first and scolded, "Son, don't be wishful thinking. You are just chickens. Let's go and find more food honestly! " Don't spend your mind on useless places. Other chickens also said, "Mom is absolutely right." You two should stop thinking. Today's food has not been found! " "
Faced with these taunts and sarcasm, one of the eagles gave up, silently returned to the chickens and followed them to find food. Another eagle said to himself, "I have wings as strong as an eagle." It can fly. Why can't I? " So the baby eagle left the chickens and began to practice flying by himself.
Because of my young age, weak body and no guidance from others, my whole body ached at first. However, the belief of flying is always in its heart, and it is this belief that supports it to face repeated failures but never be discouraged, get up from where it fell, and finally overcome difficulties.
