Stephen Glenn is a famous scientist who has made several medical breakthroughs. When1why he was so much more2than the average person, he replied that it all came from an experience3his mom.
At 2, he was trying to4a bottle of milk from the refrigerator when he5his hold on the slippery bottle and it fell, spilling (灑) its contents all over the kitchen floor! When his mom came in, instead of shouting at him or6him a lesson, she said, “Robert, what a great mess you’ve made! I’ve7seen such a sea of milk. Well, now that the8has been done, would you please get down and9in the milk for a while10we clean it up?”
So happily he did. After that, his mom said, “Robert, whenever you make such a mess like this, you’11 have to clean it up and restore (恢復(fù)) everything to its proper11. So which do you prefer, a sponge, towel or mop?” He12the sponge and tighter they cleaned up the milk. His mom then said, “Robert, you’ve just had a13experiment how to carry a big milk bottle14with two tiny hands. Now go to the sink to fill the bottle with15and see if you can discover a way to carry it safely.” Instantly Robert learned that he could16it if he grasped the bottle at the17near the lip with both hands.
18wonderful a lesson! The famous scientist then remarked it was then and there that he came to know that19were just opportunities for learning something new, which is what scientific experiments are all about.
Wouldn’t in be great if all parents could react the way Robert’s mom did to20?
