A well-known speaker kicked-off his seminar holding up a N1000 note. In the room of 200.
He asked, "Who would like this N1000 note?" Hands started going up. He said,"I am going to give this N1000 to one of you, but first, let me do this.
"He proceeded to crumple up the N1000 note. He then asked again, "Who still wants it? Still the hands were up in the air. "Well," he replied, "What if I do this?" He dropped it on the ground & started to grind it into the floor with his shoe. He picked it up and asked one more time (now crumpled & 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 N1000.
Many times in our lives, we are dropped, crumpled & grounded into the dirt by the decisions we make & 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. You are special- Don't EVER forget it. "I am passing this on to you because I know that it would touch your life, speak to a hurting heart, or the hope that it may bring. Count your blessings, not your problems. I just had to do this. Pleasant day to you!
