了不起的杰作｜ The Most Magnificent Thing

🧠This is another delightful book that advocates a growth mindset. Together with her assistant, a dog, the female protagonist works tirelessly on her latest project : The most magnificent thing!

It talks about the power of failures. Yes! failures are not something to be avoided, instead there are values in failures too! 

Excerpt:

“There are some parts of the wrong things that are really quite right!” 

”事实上，那些失败的作品中，有些地方是相当不错的。”

By failing, the female protagonist is able to understand why her previous products doesn’t work. By failing, she is able to learn from her previous mistakes and improve on her next attempt. By failing, she is able to stretch herself and become better. 

That’s what we called positive failures! 

That’s exactly what we want to reinforce in our children: to see learning from failures and to strive for progress over perfection.

Of course there is frustration, disappointment and anger as experienced by the girl in the process. But sometimes you just need a little break and change of perspective to overcome your obstacles.
