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 $20 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 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.\"
Count your blessings, not your problems. Never be afraid to try something new. And remember: amateurs
built the ark ...professionals built the Titanic.

i agree
great post nice words of wisdom, just one tiny problem with crumpled money analogy though, he said ur value will
never depreciate from those who LOVE u no matter how stomped into the ground u r, he\'s assuming we can all find
someone who will love us as much as those audience of his love money!!
