Value

I have found out this article in my friendster message box. After read it i feel that is a very meaningful article that i can share with all friend!!
A well-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?’ of 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 $20dollar 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, youstill 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 whom we know, but by WHO WE ARE.You are special. Don’t EVER forget it.’ Count your blessings, not yourproblems.Amateurs built the ark,Professionals built the Titanic.
