00:00In an elementary school, the third grade teacher gave the children a special task.
00:04I want you to build a stable bridge out of straws and paper that can hold a book.
00:08The children were excited and immediately began testing their ideas.
00:11After two days, most of the children gave up in frustration.
00:14This is too hard and it doesn't work, were heard repeatedly.
00:17Only Ben refused to give up.
00:19Weeks passed, and every day during recess Ben could be seen hunched over his construction,
00:23trying out new ideas and rearranging the straws and paper.
00:27His classmates kept asking him,
00:28Why are you still doing this? You'll never make it.
00:31Ben shrugged and kept trying.
00:32One day, when the children returned from recess, they were greeted with a surprise.
00:36Ben had done it.
00:37The bridge made of straws and paper held the book.
00:39The children stood in awe of his construction and could hardly believe it.
00:43Wow, how did you do that?
00:44They asked astonished.
00:45The teacher smiled and turned to the class.
00:48Failing only means you've found ten thousand ways that don't work,
00:50but failures are part of the learning process and ultimately lead to success if you don't give up.
