  One day, a well-known speaker was invited to give a lecture to an audience of 200. He started his lecture by

  a $ 20 bill. He looked around the room, and asked, “Who would like this $20 bill?”

  started going up.

  He said, “I am going to

  this $20 to one of you, but first, let me do this.” He crumpled up (揉皱) the 20-dollar bill. He then asked, “Who

  wants it?” Still the hands were

  in the air.

  “Well”, he replied,“

  I do this ?” And he dropped it on the

  and started to step on it with his shoes. He picked it up. Now it was crumpled and

  .

  “Now, who wants it?” Still the hands went into the air.

  “My friends, we have all learned a very

  lesson. No matter what I did to the

  , you still want it because it doesn’t decrease in

  . It is still worth $20, with

  we can buy what we need.

  Many times in our lives, we are

  , and trampled underfoot by the decision we

  and the circumstances that come our way. We feel

  we were worthless. But no matter what has happened or what may happen to us, you will never

  your value. Dirty or clean, you are still priceless to those who do love you. The worth of our lives is determined not by

  we do or who we know, but by who we are. You are

  . Don’t ever forget it.”

  If you

  this lesson in mind, it will help you to

  again when you fall. Each time it makes you grow much stronger.

  I know I should have told the headmaster at the time. That was my real

  21 .

  He had gone out of the study for some

  22

  , leaving me alone. In his absence I looked to see what was on his

  23

  . In the

  24

  was a small piece of paper on which were written the

  25

  “English Writing Prize 1949. History Is a Serious of Biographies (人物传记)”.

  A(n)

  26

  boy would have avoided looking at the title as soon as he saw the

  27

  . I did not. The subject of the English Writing Prize was kept a

  28

  until the start of the exam so I could not

  29

  reading it.

  When the headmaster

  30

  , I was looking out of the window.

  I should have told him what had

  31

  then. It would have been so

  32

  to say: “I’m sorry, but I

  33

  the title for the English Writing Prize on your desk. You’ll have to

  34

  it.”

  The chance passed and I did not take it. I sat for the exam the next day and I won. I didn’t mean to cheat, but it was still

  35

  anyhow.

  That was thirty-eight years ago when I was fifteen. I have never told anyone about it before, nor have I tried to explain to myself why not.

  No one is perfect.We a mess up(搞砸)now and then.an

  36

  a little bit to remember that most people have been in the

  37

  you’re in—hurting several people’s feelings.What makes the difference is what you do next.38

  can go along way toward healing(治愈) hurt or angry feelings.It akes

  39

  to step up and admit what you did was

  40

  .Try saing,

  “What I said te other day was

  4l

  insensitive of me.I shouldn’t have said at.I ust want to say I’m sorry.”

  When we say sorrywe

  42

  to be sincere to show we feel sorry about how hurt another person may be.If an apology is more about

  43

  and how we can bene,it might not seem true.

  Another element of saying sory is to let the person know you’re not going to let it

  again.You ould tell your friends,“I’m going t be more aware of what I

  45

  and say about people in the future.I’ll make an efort(努力) to be

  to communicate, be sure that you’d feel comfortable if anything you say is

  50

  with other friends,too.

  if it doesn’t happen instantl.Someeople are quick to

  52 .Others ma have to think about what you said and need

  53

  to get over hurt feelings or anger , or to regain trust.Do your best with te part that’s up to you.The rest is up tem.

  Sto being angry with yourself,too.You can earn from your
