Never Lose Your VALUE
(Shahzad Shameem, Abbottabad)
A well known speaker started
off his seminar by holding up a 500/- Rs. note In the room of 200 attendants, he
asked, "Who would like this 500 Rs.?"
Hands started going up. He said, "I am going to give this 500/- Rs., to one of
you but first, let me do this." He proceeded to crumple the dollar 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 all crumpled and dirty. "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/- Rs.
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.
You are special - Don't ever forget it!
