Have you heard the story？ A well-known speaker started 1 his lecture by holding up a $20 bill. In the hall of 2000, he asked. "Who would like this $20 bill? "Hands started 2 . 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 20 dollar 3 . He then asked. "Who still wants it? "Still the hands were up 4 the air. "Well," he replied, " 5 I do this? " He 6 it on the ground and started to grind(磨, 碾) it into the floor with his 7 . He picked it up, now crumpled and dirty. "Now, who still wants it? " 8 the hands went up.
"My friends, you have all 9 a very valuable lesson. 10 I did to the money, you still wanted it because it did not 11 in value. It was still worth $20.
Many times in our 12 , we are dropped, crumpled, and ground（grind的过去式） into the dirt by
the 13 we make and the circumstances(环境)that come our way. We feel 14 we are worthless; but no matter what happened or what 15 happen, you will never lose your
