Value Oneself..ultimate story..

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 IT'S VALUE IS VALUED BY YOU"
