<p>What motivates people to change?
As AOL Time Warner’s CEO,Ted Turner said "If you want to increase your rate of success,double your rate of mistakes."I agree with him. Mistakes are essential for success and motivates people to change. One is more likely to be successful because he or she learns from failure and make the best adjustment. So people are willing to change when they fail. This is clearly from examples found in technology and even in everyday life.</p>
<pre><code>Microsoft launched its operating system,Windows 98,on the 25th of May,1998. The product met such a tremendous success that it made Microsoft diffucult to develop a worthy follow-up. It was then that Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates faced a choice: either can he develop the new operating system codenamed Windows M.E. within a year,or devote his time and effort into another project. He chose the former. This turned out to be a devastating mistake that created havoc in the computer world. Windows M.E. is nothing more than a glorfied Windows 98. Futhermore,it cotained errors and bugs that proved to be damaging to users and companies. However,Bill Gates’s decision did pay off. He learnt and analyzed Microsoft’s weaknesses through M.E.'s failure. After two years of M.E.'s launch,Microsoft published a new error-free opearting syste----Windows XP----that met critical and commercial success. Windows XP was totally diffrent from 98 and M.E. for it was based on a new framework which Microsoft created in 2001. It was only because Bill Gates made the corrective alteration that Microsoft still dominate the computer world today.
Also everyday life demonstrates mistakes spurs change and adaption. My brother Tom likes battling aliens using a computer simulator. He always attacks the enemy suddenly in the begining and loses in the end. This is because he sets out while he hasn’t known any information of the rival. After previously having lost for many times,he begins to make his formations and stay still until the enemy starts the battle. Ultimately,Tom manages to use his formations to gain a lot of information about the enemy,and he does win. In this case,his failure leads him to change his way of attack and eventually gives him the best chances at victory.

<p>Nearly all,if not all,people make mistakes that may have negative consequences. It doesn’t matter as long as people learn from them and make the best adapation and adjustment. Two examples above exemplify that mistakes are the main reason of people to change for the better.</p>
