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.
