Awell-known  speaker started off his seminar 

by holding up a $20.00 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 up the $20 dollar bill.

 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 crumpled and 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 $20. 

 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 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."
