Value

A well known speaker started off his seminar by holding up a $20 bill. In the room, 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. Then he asked again, " 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 shoes.

He picked it up, now all cumpled and dirty. "Now who still wants it?" 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."

Moral of the story: Many times in our lives, we 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. You are unique, you are special.
