There  Is  This  Story  About  A  Famous

Research   Scientist  Who  Had  Made ,

Several  Very  Important  Medical  Breakthroughs.

He  Was  Being  Interviewed  By  A  Newpaper

Reporter  Who Asked  Him  Why  He ,

Thought  He  Was  Able  To Be  So  Much

Creative  Than  The  Average Person.

What  Set Him  So  Far Apart From Other?

He  Responded  That , In  His  Opinion

It  All  Came  From An  Experience  

With His Mother  That  Occurred  When He  Was About

4 Years  Old, He  Had  Been Trying To Remove

A   Bottle  Of  Milk  From  The  Refrigerator ,

When  He  Lost  His  Grip On The  Slippery Bottle  

And  It  Fell  Spilling  Its  Contents All Over  The  Kitchen

  Floor - A  Veritable Sea Of  Milk".

When  His  Mother  Came  Into  The  Kitchen ,

Instead  Of  Yelling  At  Him,

Giving  Him  A  Lecture , Or  Punishing  Him ,

She  Said  "Robert  What  A  Great  And

  Wonderful  Mess  You  Have  Made',

I  Rarely  Seen  Such  A Huge  Puddle  Of  Milk

Well  The  Damage  Has  Already  Been Done.

Would  You Like  To Get  Down And  Play  In

The  Milk  For  A Few Minutes  Before We Clean,

It  Up ?, Indeed  He  Did.

After  A Few  Minutes  His  Mother  Said , 

You Know  Robert, Whenever 

 You Make  A Mess Like  This  ,

 Eventually  You  Have  To Clean It Up 

 And  Restore  Everything  To Its  Proper Order.

So  How  Would  Like To  Do That ?

We  Could  Use  A Sponge , A  Towel  Or  A Mop

Which  Do  You  Prefer ?

He  Chose  The  Sponge  And  Together 

They Cleaned  Up  The  Spilled  Milk.

His Mother Then Said, You Know  What We

Have  Here  Is  A  Failed  Experiment In How

Effectiely  Carry  A Big  Milk  Bottle

  With Two Tiny  Hands , Let's  Go  Out In  The  Back Yard

And  Fill The  Bottle  With  Water  And See If

You  Can Discover  A  Way  To  Carry It 
 Without  Dropping  It".

The  Little  Boy  Learned  That If  He  Grasped

The  Bottle  At  The  Top  Near  The  Lip  With

Both  Hands , He  Could  Carry  It  Without Dropping  It , 

This  Renowned  Scientist  

Then Remarked  That  It  Was  At  That  Moment

That  He  Knew  He  Didn't  Need  To Be Afraid

To Make  Mistakes.

Instead  He  Learned  That  Mistakes  Were Just

Opportunites  For  Experiments  Are  All About.

Even If  The  Experiment " Doesn't  Work" ,

We Usually  Learn  Something  Valuable  From It.

Wouldn't It  Be  Great  If  All  Parents  Would

Respond  The  Way  Robert's  Mother Responed

To  Him ?,  Wouldn't  It  Be  Wonderful  

If  We  Could  All  Respond  

To  People  Who Manage In A  Similar  Manner  Too ?

Help  Someone  Learn  From His/ Her  Mistakes?.
