You Are Special

A well known speaker started off his seminar byholding up a $20 bill. In the room of 2000 he asked.“Who would like this $20 bill?”

Hands started going up. He said, “I am going to givethis $20 to one of you - but first, let me do this.”

He proceeded to crumple the 20 dollar note up. Hethen asked. “Who still wants it?” Still the handswere up in the air.

“Well,” he replied, “what if I do this?” He droppedit on the ground and started to grind it into thefloor with his shoe. He picked it up, now crumpledand dirty. “Now, who still wants it?”

Still the hands went into the air.

“My friends, you have all learned a very valuablelesson. No matter what I did to the money, you stillwanted 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 makeand the circumstances that come our way. We feel asthough we are worthless; but no matter whathappened or what will happen, you will never loseyour value.

Dirty or clean, crumpled or finely creased, you arestill priceless to those who love you. The worth ofour lives comes, not in what we do or who we know,but by …WHO WE ARE.

You are SPECIAL - don’t ever forget it.”
