Preface: Aaaa... hookah. Pass it around the table, share the laughs and drink frothy milk tea with friends. Its gratifying indeed.
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 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 $20.
During our life we will be crumpled up, dropped and stepped on by our own mistakes or by circumstances. Some people might even get a worse deal.
You might feel worthless. But no matter what happened remember that you are special and will never lose value.
