题目内容：

One month ago, my daughter started kindergarten. As usual, I wished her success. I was telling a lie. What I actually wish for her is __________. I believe in the power of failure.

Success is __________ in a sense. Success is proving that you can do something that you already know you can do, or doing something correctly the first time, which can __________ be a problematic victory. First-time success is usually a fluke (侥幸). First-time failure, ________, is expected; it is the natural order of things.

Failure is how we learn. I have been told of an African phrase __________ a good cook as “she who has broken many pots”. If you have spent enough time in the __________ to have broken a lot of pots, probably you know a fair amount about __________. I once had a late dinner with a group of chefs, and they spent time ________ knife wounds and burn scars. They knew how much credibility (可信度) their __________ gave them.

I earn my __________ by writing a daily newspaper column. Each week I am __________ that one column is going to be the worst column of the week. I don’t just set out to write it; I try my best every day. __________, every week, one column is inferior (较差的) to the others, sometimes extremely so.

I have learned to __________ that column. A successful column usually means that I am treading (踏) on __________ ground, going with tricks that work, or dressing up popular ideas in fancy words. Often in my inferior columns, I am trying to __________ something I’ve never done before, something that I’m not even sure can be done.

My daughter is a perfectionist. She will feel her failures, and I will want to __________ her. But I will also, I hope, __________ her of what she learned, and how she can do __________ next time. I probably won’t tell her that failure is a good thing, because that’s not a(n) __________ you can learn when you’re five. I hope I can tell her, though, that it’s not the end of the world. Indeed, with luck, it is the __________.
