As a service to schools and families nationally, reproduction of this information in its entirety with credit to HSI is permitted . Our Experiences Effort is funny. You ve probably got lots of examples of times when you ve made major efforts and nothing worked out.
Children have the same experiences.
They write a paper, for example, that takes days and days, and the teacher says, You should have tried harder. There isn t much, but there is a law of averages.

Failure is no crime.
