A well-known speaker started off his seminar by holding up a $
500/-note.
In the room of 200, he asked, "Who would like this 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 d irty. " 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 $ 500/-. Many times in
our lives, we are dropped, crumpled, and ground into the dirt by the
decisions we make and the
circumstances that can 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!"
MORAL of the Story :-
"Never let yesterday's disappointments overshadow tomorrow's dreams"
"We are what we believe we are."
