I will never forget the lessen which Mr. Ligave us. One day Mr. Li was speaking to us inour school meeting room. He began his speechby holding up a￥100 bill. He asked， \"Whowould like this￥ 100 bill？\"

Most of us put up our hands quickly. Thenhe said， \"I am going to give this￥ 100 to oneof you， but first let me do this.\" He then madethe bill into a ball and said; \"Who wants itnow？\" We raised our hands again. But hesaid， \"Wait a moment.\" He then dropped it onthe floor and stepped on it. After that， he pickedup the dirty bill and said，

\"Who still wants it？\" Many hands werestill up.

\"My friends，\" he said， \"you have learneda valuable lesson today. No matter what I did tothe money， you still wanted it because it did notgo down in value. It was still worth￥ 100. \"

“We always lose many chances we take inour lives. \"He went on speaking， \"We feel as ifwe are worth nothing. But remember， no matterwhat has happened to you， you will never loseyour value： you are always valuable to thosepeople who love you. Your value doesn' t comefrom what you do or who you know. but WHOYOU ARE. \"

\"You are special and valuable. Don ' t everforget it！ \"

我難以忘懷李老師給我們上的那一課。有一天，他在學校的會議室給我們做了一次演講。他手持一百元，開始了他的講話。“誰想要這100元？”他問道。

絕大部分的學生迅速舉手。接下來，他說：“我會把這一百元給你們之中的一個人，但是，我先得做點什么?！彼麑⑦@張鈔票揉成一團后，說道：“現(xiàn)在，誰還要這100元？”學生再一次舉起手來。但是，他又說：“請稍等片刻?！彼麑⑩n票扔到地上，用腳踩它，之后，他拾起這張臟了的鈔票問道：

“誰還要它？”很多人依然舉手。

“我的孩子們”，他說道，“今天，你們學到了寶貴的一課。不管我怎么對待這張鈔票，你們依然想要得到它，這是因為我并沒有貶低它的價值。它仍然是一張價值一百元的鈔票?！?/p>

“我們總是與生命中許多機會失之交臂。”他接著說道，“我們覺得自己沒有價值，但是，要牢記，無論發(fā)生什么，我們的價值仍然存在，對于愛著你的人們來說，你有很大的價值，你的價值并不來源于你做了什么還是你認識什么人，僅僅來源與你自身?！?/p>

“別忘了，你是珍貴而特殊的存在。”
