【推荐1】I have had thousands of classes since I started school nine years ago. But only one class was the most important.

It happened last term just after I had got a _______ result in an exam. I was sad and had lost my confidence. I decided to go to a class which could tell me how to be successful.

The speaker walked into the room. But he did not start talking _______ a teacher. Instead, he held up a twenty yuan note!

“Who wants this?” he asked. Unsurprisingly, all of us in the class held up our hands. The speaker smiled. Then he put up the note on the blackboard and asked the same question. Again, we all put up our hands. The speaker smiled again, but said _______. Suddenly, he threw the note onto the floor! Then he asked the same question a third time.

I didn’t understand what the speaker was doing. Why was he asking the same question again and again? I didn’t know what to do. I wanted the note, so I put my hand up again. After a while, he _______ the note and started to laugh. “You have all just told me how to become successful,” he said to us with the note in his hand.

“The note is worth twenty yuan. It is _______ worth twenty yuan, even though I throw it on the floor. You are like the note. No matter what happens to you, you still have your worth.”

When I heard those words, I was deeply moved. Suddenly, I _______ I was worth a lot. I may have done badly in an exam, but it doesn’t mean I can’t do well in the future. If I believe in myself, I will be successful!
