        在这个世界上，最珍贵的东西是免费的。
　　阳光是免费的。没有谁能够离开阳光活下去，然而，可曾有谁为自己享受过的阳光支付过一分钱？空气是免费的。一个人只要活着，就需要不停地呼吸。可又有谁为他呼吸过的空气付账？无论普通人还是大明星，他们一样自由地呼吸着天地间的空气。
　　亲情是免费的。每一个婴儿来到世上，都受到了父母无微不至的关爱，那是一份不求回报的疼爱。父母的这份爱，不因孩子的成年而减少，更不因父母的衰老而削弱。友情是免费的。寂寞时默默陪伴你的那个人，摔倒时向你伸出手臂的那个人，伤心时将你搂在怀里的那个人，可曾将他的付出算成现金，然后要你还钱？爱情是免费的。那份不由自主的爱，那份无法忍住的思念，那份一路相伴的深情，正是生命中最深切的安慰与最坚实的依靠。而这一切，都是免费的，更是金钱买不来的。
　　目标也是免费的。无论王子，还是流浪儿，只要愿意，就能为自己的人生确立一个目标。这个目标既可以伟大也可以平凡，既可以辉煌也可以朴素，只要你愿意，你就能拥有。
　　还有信念、希望、意志、梦想……所有这一切，，都是免费的，只要你想要，你就能得到。生活是公正的，更是慷慨的，它早已把最珍贵的一切，免费地赠送给了每一个人。
