【正确答案】[范文]

Learning from Mistakes

As Alexander Pope rightly pointed out, "To err is human." We, human beings, are not infallible and we might make mistakes in one time or another.
Despite the fact that we all make mistakes, attitudes towards them vary from persons to persons. On the one hand, some people are clever enough to draw upon the experience and to avoid the same mistakes. On the other hand, some might just ignore the consequences of the blunder and allow history repeats itself.
To become a better person, I assert that we should pay due attention to the mistakes and learn our lessons. As the saying goes, failure is the mother of success. However, I think the statement is only half true—if we do not think about the failure and let it pass, we would not be able to taste success. Conversely, if we ponder on the causes and effects of the failure, we will earn ourselves a beacon to guide our way through. It is true that all human beings would make mistakes, but learning from them can make us wiser.

从错误中学习

正如亚历山大·蒲柏所说，“失误人皆有之”。作为人类的我们并非圣人，犯错在所难免。
尽管人人都会犯错，但对于犯错的态度却因人而异。有的人机智聪慧，对犯过的错误会引以为戒，避免重蹈覆辙。而有的人却无视错误带来的后果，任凭历史重演。
想要成为更好的人，我主张我们应该重视错误，并从中学习。有句老话“失败乃成功之母”，但我觉得它只说对了一半——如果我们不去思考失败，一笑而过的话，我们根本无法品尝成功。相反，如果我们思索失败的前因后果，我们会得到前进道路的指明灯。人人皆犯错，这是事实，但从错误中学习，能让我们更明智。
