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, a unique personality - Don't ever forget it.
