A well-known speaker started off his seminar holding up a €50
note. In the room of 200, he asked, "Who would like this €50 note?"
Hands started going up. He said, "I am going to give this €50 to one of you
but first, let me do this."
He proceeded to crumple up the€50 note. 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 crumpled and dirty.
"Now, who still wants it?" Still the hands went into the air.
"My friends, we 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 €50. 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 may 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 DO LOVE you. The worth of our lives comes not in what we
do or who we know, but by WHO WE ARE.
You are special-Don't EVER forget it.
