In a seminar a professor holding up a $20 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 bill to one of you but first, let me do this." He proceeded to crumble the $20 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 crumbled and dirty, "Now, who still wants it?" Still the hands went into the air.

"My friends, we have all learned a vaulable 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 loose 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 from not in what we do or who we know, but by WHO WE ARE. You are special - Don't ever forget it."

Count your blessings, not your problems.
Never be afriad to try something new.
And remember: amatures built the ark... professionals built the Titanic.

If God brings you to it - He will bring you through it.
God will either lighten your load or He will strengthen your back.

Just thought I would let everyone know this..

I feel that a more important lesson would be, "You are not a $20-dollar bill, so don't expect *everyone* to love you."

It is a good concept though...realizing and knowing your own value, no matter what happens. Took me a long time to get there, but I made it!

Good point, yes... but that is not the lesson. Everyone knows that not eveyone will love you... Think about a millionaire, would he/she want a $20 bill ? most probably they wont care about it... And yes, some people wont see you as worth much... But you are worth something to alot of people none the less... And to some people you could bring so much joy to their lives.
