文明只差一步

古往今来，人们常说：“失败是成功之母。”失败，在人生中是个未知数，但这句话并不空虚，一个人只有经历失败，才能取得真正的成功。面对失败，只要你不懈努力，就一定可以成功，但必须具备勇气和决心。

Throughout the ages, people often say, "failure is the mother of success." Failure, in life is an unknown number, but this sentence is not empty, a person only experience failure, in order to achieve real success. In the face of failure, as long as you make unremitting efforts, you can certainly succeed, but you must have courage and determination.

记得有一次，我和弟弟在家做我们的科技小制作“水上船1号”。我先拿了一些塑料瓶当船身做好，之后，便拿了齿轮和马达装上去，不一会儿，一个船便做好了。要实验了，我把船放在水面上，开关打开，船可以动了，但好景不长，不一会儿，便翻船了，我和弟弟沮丧地望着失败的发明，但“失败是成功之母”这句话在我心中闪过一个念头，为什么不找找翻船的原因呢？噢，知道了，原来是因为重力偏向右的原因，所以翻船，但经过多次改造和实验，我们的船终于可以行驶了。

I remember one time, my brother and I were at home doing our technology production "water boat 1". I took some plastic bottles as the hull of the boat, and then I took the gears and motors and put them on. Soon, a boat was finished. To experiment, I put the boat on the water, turn on the switch, the boat can move, but the good time is not long, soon, the boat capsized, my brother and I looked at the failure of the invention dejectedly, but the sentence "failure is the mother of success" flashed in my mind, why not find the reason for capsizing? Oh, I see. It turns out that the gravity is to the right, so the boat capsized. But after many modifications and experiments, our boat can finally move.

经过这件事后，我知道了“失败是成功之母”这句话的真正含义了，失败，其实并不可怕，只要你有足够的信心和勇气，坚持不懈，就一定可以成功。这句话将让我一生受用不尽。

After this incident, I learned the true meaning of the sentence "failure is the mother of success". Failure is not really terrible. As long as you have enough confidence and courage and perseverance, you can succeed. This sentence will make my life endlessly useful.
