A popular
speaker started off a seminar by holding up a $20 bill. A crowd of 200 had
gathered to hear him speak. He asked, “Who would like this $20 bill?” 200 hands
went up.
He said, “I
am going to give this $20 to one of you but first, let me do this.” He crumpled
the bill up.
He then
asked, “Who still wants it?”
All 200 hands
were still raised.
“Well,” he
replied, “What if I do this?” Then he dropped the bill on the ground and
stomped on it with his shoes.
He picked it
up, and showed it to the crowd. The bill was all crumpled and dirty.
“Now who
still wants it?”
All the hands
still went up.
“My friends,
I have just showed you a very important 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, life crumples us and grinds us into the
dirt. We make bad decisions or deal with poor circumstances. We feel worthless.
But no matter what has happened or what will happen, you will never lose your
value.
Moral:- You are special – Don’t ever forget it!
