Valuable Lesson
Valuable Lesson
A well-known speaker started off his seminar by holding up a Rupee 500 note. In the room of 200, he asked, "Who would like this Rupee 500 note Hands started going up. He said, "I am going to give this note to one of you but first let me do this. He proceeded to crumple the note 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 Rupee 500/-.
Many times in your 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. You are special don t ever forget it! Dirty or clean, crumpled or finely creased, you are still priceless to those who DO LOVE you. Never let yesterday's disappointments overshadow tomorrow's dreams. The worth of our lives comes not in what we do or whom we know, but by WHO WE ARE and WHOSE WE ARE. You are special -- Don't EVER forget it.
Count your blessings, not your problems.
