Just a 20 dollar bill but..

borzoimom

A well-known speaker started off his seminar by,



holding up a $20.00 bill. In the room of 200, 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 up the $20 dollar bill.

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 crumpled and dirty.

"Now, who still wants it?"

Still the hands went into the air.

My friends, we 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 to those who DO LOVE you.

The worth of our lives comes not in what we do or who we know,

But by WHO WE ARE and WHOSE WE ARE.

You are special - Don't EVER forget it."


And remember: amateurs built the ark...

Professionals built the Titanic.

I love that! We heard that in church. I think it applies to our fuzzy friends as well and could be used as an adopt a pet from a shelter campaign. Thanks for sharing.

On the last day in 3rd grade, my teacher did the exact same thing and gave us a speach about it. I keep it with me for the rest of my life.

Don't know if it's the same guy but at the beginning of the year a man came to our school and did that presentation.

Yeah, I heard that at my church. Very nice to hear it again!


I love that quote...Amateurs built the ark, professional's built the titanic.

I saw the same presentation but you were suppose to get out of your chair and take the 20 from his hand. The lesson: those who act, succeeed.
