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!
