This morning I got an email from Roy．It seems that my boy really enjoys his new life at Harvard University．
The email made me think of the first day when we moved into this house．
Little Roy ran around the new house with great excitement and tried to move his own things into the house such as his toys，books and clothes．Suddenly his little hand knocked over a bottle of paint on the shelf．The paint made the tidy floor and white wall a terrible mess． "Oh，my God!" My wife rushed in angrily．I looked at my son，and his small face was filled with fear．
I smiled and held his hand， "Take it easy，Roy．Now let's do something to make it look nice．" I took out a brush．" You see，Dad is a magician．I can change it into a big tree．"
His mother soon joined us and helped paint some flowers on the wall．
We spent the whole afternoon painting and laughing．The wall became a beautiful forest with plants，birds and small animals．Blue sky and white clouds were also painted by Roy．On that day，everyone in the house knew something special happened．
The night before Roy left for Harvard，he asked me if I still remembered the day when he had knocked over the paint． "Since then I've never worried about making mistakes，" he continued， "I believe I can always find out ways to solve the problems．"
That's for sure．Mistakes are unavoidable．Making mistakes is part of life．When we make a mistake，what we shouldn't do is to run away from it．The mistake can be valuable if we can make full use of it．In fact，our attitudes （態(tài)度） towards them may make a difference．
