One day a famous speaker gave a speech to a crowd of people. He held up a 36 bill. He asked, “Who would like this $20 bill ? ” Hands were 37 . Then he said, “I am going to give this $20 to one of you, but first let me do this.” He began to crumple(弄皱)the 38 . He then asked the audience, “ 39 still wants it ?” Still the hands went 40 in the air.
“ What 41 I do this? ” He asked, and he 42 it on the ground, and started to step on it. He 43 it up. Now the bill was 44 and crumpled. “ Now who still wants it?” Still the hands went up.
“My friends,” He continued, “You have all 45 a good lesson . No matter 46 I did to the money, you still wanted it because the bill did not lose its 47 . It was still worth $20. Many times in our 48 , we are dropped, crumpled, and stepped on, because we sometimes 49 wrong decisions, or we may 50 with something we do not 51 .When that happens, we feel depressed and think we are 52 . But in fact no matter what has happened or what will happen, you will never lose your value. The worth of our life comes not 53 what we do or whom we know, but in who we are! Don’t forget ‘the worth of a thing does not depend on its outside 54 , but on its inner value.’ This is the 55 of life.
