I have had thousands of classes since I started school nine years ago. But only one _26_ was the most important.

It happened last term just after I had got a _27_ result in an exam. I was sad and had lost my confidence. I decided to go to a class which can tell me how to be_28_.

The speaker walked into the room. But he did not start talking _29_ a teacher. Instead, he held up a twenty Yuan note(钞票)!

“Who wants this?” he asked. Unsurprisingly, _30_ 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 _31_nothing. Suddenly, he threw the note onto the floor! Then he asked the same _32_ a third time.

I didn’t _33_ 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, _34_ I put my hand up again. After a while, he _35_ the note and started to laugh. “You have all just told me how to become successful,” _36_ said to us with the note in his hand.

“The note is worth twenty yuan. It is _37_ worth twenty yuan, even though I throw it on the floor. You are like the note. No matter _38_ happens to you, you still have your worth.”

When I heard those words, I was deeply moved. Suddenly, I _39_ I was worth a lot. I may have done badly in an exam, but it doesn’t _40_ I can’t do well in the future. If I believe in myself, I will be successful!
