奶洒之后
荷叶/译
最近我听说一位研究人员做出了好几项重要医学突破。有个记者去采访他，问和常人相比，他的创造性为什么会高出这么多。
这位科学家回答，他以为这一切都来自于一次与母亲有关的经历。那件事发生在他大约两岁时。那天他正从冰箱里取一瓶奶，由于瓶子太滑，他没拿住，瓶子落地，奶全洒在了地板上，构成了一片奶的海洋。 妈妈来到厨房，一没嚷，二没教训，三没惩罚。她只是说：“罗伯特，瞧你把这弄得多糟！ 我从没见过这么大片的奶。好了。损失已无法弥补。你还不如坐下玩会儿，咱再收拾。” 我真的在那片奶里玩了起来。这位著名的科学家说，他正是在那个时刻开始明白，他不必害怕犯错误。错误恰是学习新东西的机会，尝试错误也正是科学实验的方法。即使实验不成功，我们也可以从中学到一些有价值的东西。 如果每一位家长都能像罗伯特母亲一样对待自己的孩子，该有多好！ 附：原文 I recently heard a story about a famous research scientist who had made several important medical breakthroughs. He was being interviewed by a newspaper reporter, who asked him why he was able to so much more creative than average persons. He responded that, in his opinion, it all came from an experience with his mother that occurred when he was about two years old. He had been trying to take 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 real sea of milk! When his mother came into the kitchen, instead of yelling at him, teaching him a lesson or punishing him, she said, “Robert, what a great and wonderful mess you have made! I have never seen such a huge puddle of milk. Well, the damage has already been done. Would you like to sit down and play in the milk for a few minutes before we clean it up?” Indeed, he did. This famous 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 mistakes were just opportunities for learning something new, which is, after all, what scientific 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 responded to him? |
