Some value it highly, believing that it is good for social progress. Others say that petition is bad. It sets one person against another. And it leads to unfriendly relationship between people. I have taught many children who believe that their selfworth depended on how well they did at tennis and other skills. For them, playing well and winning are often lifeand death matters. In their singleminded dream of success, the development of many other human qualities （品質(zhì)）is sadly forgotten. However, while some seem to be lost in the desire （渴望）to succeed, others take a different attitude. In a culture which values only the winners, they are strongly against petition. Among the most vocal are youngsters who are under petitive pressures（壓力）from their parents or society. They are always told to be the top ones, but they think it39。s really hard. When I teach these young people, I often find them in a desire to fail. They seem to search for failure（失?。゜y not trying to win or achieve success. By not trying, they always have an excuse: I may have lost, but it doesn39。t matter because I really didn39。t try. If I had tried and lost, that would mean a lot. Clearly, this belief is the same as that of the true petitors who try to prove themselves. Both are based on the mistaken belief. They think one39。s selfrespect depends on how well one does pared with others. Both are afraid of not being valued.

On my way there, I thought about the village, the school, and the children there. However, my heart sank when I arrived there. It wasn39。t what I expected. It didn39。t look like a school at all. The school had only 3 rooms, one for Grades 1, 2 and 3, and another for Grades 4, 5 and 6. There was a third one for me. The children weled me warmly on my first day.
