| One day a famous speaker gave a speech to a crowd of people. He held up a 20-dollar bill. He asked, "Who would like this $20 bill" Hands were raised. 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 1 . He then asked the audience (观众), "Anybody still wants it?" Still the hands went 2 in the air. "What if I do this?" He asked, and he 3 it on the ground, and started to step on it. He 4 it up. Now the bill was 5 and crumpled. "Now who still wants it?" Still the hands went up. "My friends," He continued, "You have all learned a good lesson. No matter 6 I did to the money, you still wanted it because the bill did not lose its 7 . It was still worth $20. Many times in our 8 , we are dropped, crumpled, and stepped on, because we sometimes 9 wrong decisions, or we may 10 with something we do not 11 . When that happens, we feel depressed and think we are 12 . 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 13 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 14 , but on its inner value.' This is the 15 of life. | ||||
