A
well
known
speaker
started
off his
seminar
by
holding
up a $20
bill. In
the room
of 300,
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 all
crumpled
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.
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
