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 continued, "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 crumpled and dirty. "Now
who still wants this $20?" 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: 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, who we know, but by WHO
WE ARE.
Have A Great Day
I'm Glad To Know Who You Are
