A
well known speaker started off his seminar by holding up a $20 bill. In
the room of 200, he asked, "Who would like this $20 bill?" Hands
started going up.
He
said, "I am going to give this $20 to one of you, but first, let
me do this." He proceeded to crumple the 20 dollar bill up. He then
asked, "Who still wants it?" Still the hands were up in the
air.
"Well,"
he replied, "what if I do this?" He dropped it on the ground
and started to grind it into the floor with his shoe. He picked it up,
now crumpled and dirty. "Now, who still wants it?" Still the
hands went into the air.
"My
friends, you have all learned a very valuable lesson. No matter what I
did to the money, you still wanted it because it did not decrease in value.
It was still worth $20.
Many
times in our lives, we are dropped, crumpled, and ground into the dirt
by the decisions we make and the circumstances that come our way.
We
feel as though we are worthless; but no matter what happened or what will
happen, you will never lose your value. Dirty or clean, crumpled or finely
creased, you are still priceless to those who love you.
The
worth of our lives comes, not in what we do or who we know, but by WHO
WE ARE.
You
are special - don't ever forget it."
