I recently heard a story about a famous research scientist who had made several very important medical breakthroughs. What set him so far apart from others?
He1.that, in his opinion, it all came from an2.from his mother that happened when he was about 2 years old. He had been trying to3.a bottle of milk from the refrigerator when he lost his 4.on the slippery(光滑的) bottle and it 5., making its contents pouring all over the kitchen floor.
When his mother came into the kitchen, instead of6.at him, giving him a lecture, or punishing him, she said: “Robert, what an(a)7.and wonderful mess you have made! I have8.seen such a huge pool of milk. Well, the damage has already been done. Would you like to9.down and play in the milk for a few10.before we clean it up?”
Indeed, he did. After a few minutes, his mother said: “You know, Robert,11.you make a mess like this, you have to clean it up at last and restore everything to its proper12.. So, how would you like to do that? We could use a sponge, a towel, or a mop. Which do you13.?” He chose the sponge and together they14.up the milk.
His mother then said: “You know, what happened just now is a15.experiment in how effectively to carry a big milk bottle with two tiny hands. Let’s16.out in the back yard and fill the bottle with water and see if you can17.a way to carry it without dropping it.” The little boy18.that if he held the bottle at the top near the lip with both hands, he could carry it without dropping it.
This scientist then19.that it was at that moment that he knew he didn’t need to be afraid to make20..
Wouldn’t it be great if all parents would respond the way Robert’s mother responded to him?
