高二英语?美文背诵材料 ? 1. THE SIGNIFICANCE OF FAILURE? Robert H. SchullerFailure doesnt mean you are a failure; it means you haven’t succeeded yet. Failure doesn’t mean you have accomplished nothing; it means you have learned something. Failure doesn’t mean you have been a fool; it means you had a lot of faith. Failure doesn’t mean you’ve been disgraced; it means you were willing to try. Failure doesn’t mean you don’t have it; it means you have to do something in a different way.
