VALUE

A well-known speaker started off

his seminar by holding up a

Rupee 500 note.

In the room of 200, he asked
, "Who would like this Rupee 500
note?"

Hands started going up. He said, "I
am going to give this note to one of
you
but first let me do this." He proceeded
to crumple the note 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
Rupee 500/-.

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.
You are special. Don't

ever forget it! Never

let yesterday's

disappointments

overshadow

tomorrow's dreams.

" VALUE HAS A

VALUE ONLY IF ITS

VALUE IS VALUED"
