Twenty Dollars [00:00:03]
A well-known speaker started off [00:00:05]
his seminar by holding up a $20 bill. [00:00:08]
In the room of 200, [00:00:11]
he asked, "Who would like this $20 bill?" [00:00:14]
Hands started going up. [00:00:18]
He said, "I am going to give this $20 to one of you, [00:00:21]
but first, let me do this." [00:00:26]
He proceeded to crumple the dollar bill up. [00:00:29]
He then asked, "Who still wants it?" [00:00:32]
Still the hands were up in the air. [00:00:37]
"Well," he replied, "what if I do this?" [00:00:40]
And he dropped it on the ground [00:00:45]
and started to grind it [00:00:47]
into the floor with his shoe. [00:00:48]
He picked it up, now all crumpled and dirty. [00:00:51]
"Now, who still wants it?" [00:00:55]
Still the hands went into the air. [00:00:59]
"My friends, you have all learned [00:01:03]
a very valuable lesson. [00:01:06]
No matter what I did to the money, [00:01:08]
you still wanted it because [00:01:11]
it did not decrease in value. [00:01:13]
It was still worth $20." [00:01:16]
"Many times in our lives, [00:01:19]
we are dropped, crumpled, [00:01:21]
and ground into the dirt [00:01:24]
by the decisions we make [00:01:26]
and the circumstances that come our way. [00:01:27]
We feel as though we are worthless; [00:01:31]
but no matter what happened [00:01:34]
or what will happen, [00:01:36]
you will never lose your value. " [00:01:38]
"Dirty or clean, crumpled or finely creased, [00:01:41]
you are still priceless to those who love you. [00:01:46]
The worth of our lives comes, [00:01:50]
not in what we do or who we know, [00:01:53]
but by... WHO WE ARE! " [00:01:56]
"You are special- don't ever forget it!" [00:02:00]
