> A well known speaker started off his seminar by
> holding up a $20.00 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 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 $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 or
> who
> we know, but by WHO WE ARE.
> You are special - Don't EVER forget it.
>
> Count your blessings, not your problems. Never be
> afraid to try something new.
