Translation jobs are undertaken by professional translators who are well versed with at least two languages.Translation can work at two levels: inter-state or regional language translation and inter-national or foreign language translation. Some forms of parent involvement with the school such as communications with school, volunteering, attending school events and parent--parent connections appeared to have little effect on student achievement, especially in high school.

Teens at ouracademic summer camp, SuperCamp, find out an important life lesson when we talkto them about how failure leads to success. Our failures provide us withvaluable gifts—they give us the information we need to learn so that we cansucceed next time. The only path tosuccess is stepping out of your comfort zone and being willing to risk. Whatkeeps us from taking risks? The view that failure is a negative and the fearthat failing will cause us shame and guilt. How would you act if you knew thatfailure is virtually your only path to success? We know this because nearly allsuccessful people failed a lot. But they learned, tried a new way, and went onto succeed.If you hear the word “failure,” what emotion does it evoke in you?Guilt? Shame? Inadequacy? Not a pretty picture. Failure is the label we stickon unsuccessful ventures. It’s practically synonymous with incompetence. Theword alone brings up feelings of shame and humiliation.When we fail, we automatically send ourselves bad messages. Wediscourage ourselves from trying again, because if we try we risk anotherfailure. It’s true that when you give up trying, you don’t have to face failureanymore. But you’ll have close to zero chance of achieving success. In order toreally succeed, you’ve got to be willing to fall on your face a few times. You didn’t start out being afraid of failing or hating to fail.When you were tiny, failure didn’t weigh you down with emotional sludge. Whenyou failed as a toddler learning to walk, you had a good cry then you stood up,dusted yourself off, and kept on going. But somewhere along the way you learnedthat trying and not succeeding was bad. That it meant trying was bad. That itmeant you were bad.Your failures by themselves aren’t so terrible, for the most part.It’s how you think about them that gives them the power to shut you down. When you fail, you experience two types of consequences: internaland external. The external consequences are what happen in the world as aresult of your failure. The internal consequences are what happen inside you:the emotional impact of your failure. That math exam you botched your sophomoreyear? The external consequences were a bad grade and maybe a stern lecture fromyour parents. The internal consequences were those persistent little demonsthat whispered, “You’re no good at math. You’re too stupid to do this.” The badgrade came and went—the little voices stayed. Because our society views failure in a negative way, we learn toavoid trying new things. Instead of risking failure, we fall back into thecomfort zone of the familiar, the tried and true. In order to avoidhumiliation, we let fabulous opportunities pass us by. But if you’re going toharness the power that lies within your failures, you’ll have to change the wayyou think about them. Learn to see them for the gifts they are.Failure is not just one possible path; it’s practically the only path to success. It’s necessary.It’s required. You can’t succeed without learning. And in order to learn, youhave to risk failure. Learning doesn’t happen in an atmosphere of fear. Whynot? Because fear shuts down the experimentation process. People don’t takerisks when they’re afraid. They won’t try something new. And what is learningif not trying new things? You can’t succeed if you can’t grow. You can’t growif you can’t learn. You can’t learn if you can’t fail. Of course, there’s a huge difference between appropriate andinappropriate risk. Not all risks are of equal value; not all risks are worthtaking. Deciding the value of a risk is a skill like any other. Weigh therewards of each risk against its potential outcomes, and look at thecircumstances in terms of its impact on your inner vision.You haveto risk failure in order to learn anything. Whether you fail or not,risk-taking alone is a powerful learning tool. But the actual experience offailing is the fastest way to learn. Failure vastly improves your odds ofsuccess, particularly in the long run, because it tells you what to do—and whatnot to do—next. When you diagnose your failures and figure out where you wentwrong, you’re teaching yourself, literally by trial and error, how to go right.Failing is a great way to learn and grow. Treatyour failures as gifts. Whenever you fail, the universe has just handed you apiece of wisdom. Don’t let it go to waste. Mine it for all it’s worth. Askyourself:·        What happened?·        What did I learn?·        What will I do differently next time?“Life is a series of outcomes,” says Simone Carruthers,psychologist and business consultant. “Sometimes the outcome is what you want.Great. Figure out what you did right. Sometimes the outcome is what you don’twant. Great. Figure out what you did so you don’t do it again.”The only time you’ve really failed is when you fail to learn fromyour mistakes.Affirmations for FAILURE LEADS TOSUCCESS:·        I’mnot afraid to make mistakes.·        WhenI make them, I take the time to learn from them.·        Ibelieve failures are opportunities for growth. “Failure is the opportunity to beginagain more intelligently.”   —Henry Ford SuperCamp summerprograms fill up fast.
