Whenever my kids have a party at school, I am the mom who always signs up to bring the juice boxes. It’s not because I’m 36 or that I don’t care if my kids have a good party. I am just not good at making homemade bread into holiday-themed shapes like other mothers. 37 , I’m happy to try, even though it’ll 38 me a long time to do it.
People say that housewives should have the 39 to make delicious meals, keep their houses clean, and 40 every minute of their child’s life. Their words used to 41 me a lot. I felt that I should also be able to do those things as a housewife. So 42 I couldn’t make the turkey-shaped cookies, I 43 feeling like a failure as a mom.
After many 44 attempts at baking, and many afternoons spent crying over my inabilities as a mother, I finally accepted the 45 that my lot(命運) in life is to be the juice box mom. I worked hard to be the 46 one in the elementary school. And after one of my daughter’s class parties, it 47 . Her teacher stopped me as I was leaving and said, “Thank you so much for always bringing 48 drinks. Sometimes parents forget that other children will also 49 class parties, and they end up being left out because we don’t have enough 50 for everyone.”
I just accepted her appreciation, rather than telling her that I brought extra drinks because I could 51 remember how many kids were in the class. But her 52 taught me an important lesson: I’m not a failure as a mom.
Not everyone is cut out to be a(n) 53 mom. I believe it’s okay to be the juice box mom. I may not bake cookies and decorate them beautifully, but I 54 something to drink. And I think that’s just as 55 .

Make Up Your Mind to Succeed
Kind-hearted parents have unknowingly left their children defenseless against failure. The generation born between 1980 and 2001 grew up playing sports where scores and performance were played down because “everyone’s winter.” And their report cards sounded more positive(正面的) than ever before. As a result, Stanford University professor Carol Dweck, PhD, calls them “the overpraised generation.”
Dweck has been studying how people deal with failure for 40 years.Her research has led her to find out two clearly different mind-sets that have a great effect on how we react to it. Here’s how they work:
A fixed mind-set is grounded in the belief that talent(才能) is genetic—you’re a born artist, point guard, or numbers person. The fixed mind-set believes it’s sure to succeed without much effort and regards failure as personal shame. When things get difficult, it’s quick to blame, lie, and even stay away from future difficulties.
On the other hand, a growth mind-set believes that no talent is entirely heaven-sent and that effort and learning make everything possible. Because the ego(自尊) isn’t on the line as much, the growth mind-set sees failure as a chance rather than shame. When faced with a difficulty, it’s quick to rethink, change and try again. In fact, it enjoys this experience.
We are all born with growth mind-sets. (Otherwise, we wouldn’t be able to live in the world.) But parents, teachers, and instructors often push us into fixed mind-sets by encouraging certain actions and misdirecting praise. Dweck’s book, Mind-set: The New Psychology of Success, and online instructional program explain this in depth. But she says there are many little things you can start doing today to make sure that your children, grandchildren and even you are never defeated by failure.

I had the meanest mother in the whole world.While other kids ate candy for breakfast, I had to have cereal, eggs or toast.When others had cokes and candy for lunch, I had to eat a sandwich.As you can guess, my supper was different from the other kids' also.But at least, I wasn't alone in my sufferings.My sister and two brothers had the same mean mother as I did.
My mother insisted upon knowing where we were at all times.She had to know who our friends were and where we were going.We had to wear clean clothes and take a bath everyday.
