A well-known speaker started off his seminar by holding up a $20.00 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 to one of you, but first, let me-do-this. He proceeded to crumple the bill. 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 hands went into the air.
My friends,you all have 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 dollars. 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 that we are worthless, but, no matter what has 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 whom we know, but by who we are.
You are special don't ever forget it!
