成功和失敗的英語作文篇1：

　　We all make mistakes which are inevitable. What is worse is failure to correct own mistakes. While making mistakes is good, repeating mistakes is definitely not. Apart from correcting your own mistakes, we should learn from the mistakes.

　　You can only learn from a mistake after you admit you have made one. As soon as you start blaming other people, you distance yourself from any possible lesson that could be learned from it. But if you courageously stand up and honestly say "This is my mistake and I am responsible", the possibilities for learning will move towards you. Admission of a mistake, even if only privately to yourself, makes learning possible by moving the focus away from blaming yourself and towards understanding. Wise people admit their mistakes easily. They know progress accelerates when they do. On the other hand, for many reasons admitting mistakes is difficult. This is why some people consider that they can learn nothing from mistakes, We are taught in school, in our families, or at work to feel guilty about failure and to do whatever we can to avoid mistakes. This sense of shame combined with the inevitability of setbacks when attempting difficult things explains why many people give up on heir goals: they are not prepared for the mistakes and failures they will face on their way to what they want.

　　In conclusion, we can and should learn good lessons from past mistakes in order to be more successful in our private and public lives.

　　【成功和失敗的英語作文的譯文】

　　每個人都會犯錯誤。更糟糕的是，我們不能改正自己的錯誤。盡管犯錯誤可能是好事，總是犯同樣的錯誤絕不是什么好事。除了改正我們自己的錯誤，我們應當從錯誤中吸取教訓。

　　只有在承認自己所犯的錯誤之后，你才能從錯誤中吸取教訓。一旦你開始責怪其他人，你就失去了從錯誤中吸取教訓的機會。但是如果你有勇氣站出來誠實地說，‘這是我的錯，我應當負責’，你就有可能從錯誤中積累經驗。承認錯誤，即使只是自己在私下承認錯誤，也會讓你逐漸懂得自我反省，能夠從錯誤中領悟知識，吸取教訓。聰明的人很容易承認他們的錯誤。他們知道承認錯誤會幫助自己進步。另一方面，出于種種原因，承認錯誤是困難的。這就是一些人認為他們在錯誤中學不到任何東西的原因。我們在學校、家庭和工作中懂得了失敗的愧疚感，于是就會盡力避免犯錯。在我們嘗試困難的事情的時候，愧疚感以及無法避免的挫折，足以解釋許多人放棄目標的原因。他們沒有準備好面對成功之路上的錯誤和失敗。

　　總之，為了我們在個人生活和公共生活方面更加成功，我們不但能夠而且應該從過去的錯誤中吸取經驗。
