The worth of our lives.....................

[ragt20]

A well-known speaker started off his seminar by 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 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
continued, "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, 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."
"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 love you." "The worth
of our lives comes not in what we do or who we know, but in WHO WE ARE. You
are special. Don't ever forget it." Pass this on. You will never know the
lives it touches, the hurting hearts it speaks to, or the hope that it can
bring. Count your blessings, not your problems.

What a truly valuable lesson.

It sure does help one realize that down times happen.

Ah yes nice in principle but it all depends on your worth in the begining.

true that....and if you offered people the choice of which $20 dollar bill they wanted,regardless of the true value,the clean and fresh one would win every time.It's not down to the value,it's the perceived value that matters.

dollar bills come in various values too. some are $1, others are $100.

depends on which one you started out as.

people will allways go for the $100, and leave the $1 for someone else.
