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 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?" And he dropped it on the ground and started to grind it into
the floor with his shoe.
He picked it up, now all 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 has happened or what will happen, you will never lose your value.
You are special - Don't ever forget it!
