Talking about kids and school, what do you think about failure?
就孩子和学校来说，你怎么看待失败？

Like it seems like we're moving to where we're not allowed to tell kids that they're not doing well,
我们不能告诉孩子他们做得不好，

that everybody has to be a winner.
或是每个人都一定要成功。

You know, everybody gets a good grade. What do you think about that especially as a teacher and a parent?
或是所有人都要拿好成绩之类的。作为老师和家长来说，你怎么看？

As a teacher, I think, I read something recently that the chastising a student, telling them they did bad,
作为老师来说，我最近看了一些文章，里面说处罚学生或是告诉学生他们做得不好

has no motivational value whatsoever but praise does.
并不会起到激励作用，而表扬可以鼓励学生。

So definitely I think it's important to always praise.
所以我认为表扬非常重要。

If you have a really bad student and you can't find anything to praise them on
如果你的班级里有一个坏学生，你在他身上找不到可以表扬的地方，

then I don't know what the answer is really.
那我也不知道应该怎么办了。

But I'm sure you can always find something to praise someone on. Yeah.
可是我确定一个学生是会有值得表扬的地方的。好。

So I think it's important to focus on the positives all the time.
我认为一直关注积极的方面很重要。

See actually I kind of disagree.
其实我不太同意你的观点。

Do you?
是吗？

Yeah. I think that, you know, that your score is or your progress is absolute.
对。我认为成绩或者是进步是绝对的。

Like either you pass or you fail, either you get high marks or low marks but that's the motivation.
不是合格就是不合格，不是高分就是低分，但我认为这就是动力。

Like if you get, if you don't do well, then you want to try harder.
如果你成绩不好，那你就会想再努力一些。

You know, like if you're a fat kid and you don't want to be fat
就好像如果你是个胖孩子，你不想再胖下去，

then you, you know, you're motivated to lose weight
你就会有动力去减肥，

or if you aren't a star in the baseball team you need to practice harder so you move up.
或是如果你不是棒球队里的明星球员，那你就需要在练习时更加努力，这样你才能进步。

But if you tell kids that they're doing great when actually they're not exceptional then maybe that actually does harm.
但是如果你告诉并不优秀的学生他们做得很好，这可能会造成伤害。

OK, well maybe I misexplained that.
好，也许我没有解释清楚。

I don't mean give a false, I don't mean say they're doing well when they're not doing well
我的意思不是给出错误的认可，我不是说在学生做得不好时还要夸他们做得好，

but what I mean is focus more on the successes than the failures.
我的意思是要更多地关注成功而不是失败。

Oh, I see. Like confidence building?
哦，我明白了。建立信心，对吧？

Yeah, I guess that's what I mean more.
对，那才是我的意思。

But I guess we're talking about motivation rather than an end result like,
我认为我们现在在说的是动力而不是结果，

of course, yeah, you're going to fail some things. I don't know.
当然人肯定会遇到失败。要怎么说……

I never failed that many things at school and later on in life
如果我在学校和生活中从来没有经历过失败，

when I did encounter failure, I took it pretty bad
那当我日后失败时我可能会无法接受，

so perhaps it would have been healthier for me to have failed a few things. I don't know.
所以经历过失败对我来说可能更有好处。不知道我说明白没有。

Well that's the question, isn't it?
这是个问题，不是吗？

Like when you fail or you do bad I think that maybe that's the eye-opening moment you need to see.
如果你失败了或是表现不好，我想要用开放的观点去看。

Like you need to see the truth
要看到事实，

rather than just tell somebody that they're doing well when actually maybe they're not or that they're exceptional and talented when maybe they're not.
而不是在学生做得不好或者没有那种天赋时还要告诉他们做得很好。

When they're not, that's true.
没错。

Yeah, there was another thing that I read as well about telling, praising children for their intellgence,
我还看了一篇有关表扬孩子智商的文章，

you should never, you should never tell a child they're smart because they get a false image of what intelligence is.
那篇文章的观点是永远不要告诉孩子他们很聪明，因为那会让他们对智商产生假象。

You should always praise effort.
你应该要表扬他们的努力。

Ah, right. As opposed to some sort of innate, what we believe to be an innate quality that you can never have if you don't have it.
说得对。而不是强调那种天生的品质，我们认为天生的品质是，如果你不拥有那种品质，那你就永远不会拥有。

So telling a child yeah you're really smart,
如果你告诉孩子你非常聪明，

when the child faces a problem that requires them to apply themselves and maybe fail they're afraid.
在孩子面临需要他们自己去解决的问题时，他们可能会害怕失败。

Mmm.
嗯。

Because then they may think no I'm not intelligent after all.
因为他们可能会想，也许我并不聪明。

So it should always be about praising effort and actually the result is not so important.
所以应该表扬孩子们的努力，而结果并不是那么重要。
