Speakers Speaks...

A well-known speaker started off his seminar by holding up a $50 bill.
In the room of 200, he asked, "Who would like this $50 bill?"

There were giggles and hands were raised. He said, "I am going to give
this $50 to one of you but first, let me do this." He proceeded to
crumpled the dollar bill up.

He then asked, "Who still wants it?" Still the hands were up in the air.
"Well, what if I do this?" And he dropped it on the ground and started
to crush it 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 learnt a very valuable lesson. No matter what
I did to the money, you still wanted it because of its value. Despite
its appearance, it is still worth $50."

Just like the bill, there will be many times in our lives when we fell,
get insulted and are crushed by others or by the circumstances that we
go through.

During these times, we feel as though we are worthless. But remember
that no matter what happens, you are not worth any less because of it.
