What a $20 meant to you ?

[Uncle Lau]

$20.00


Sometimes we just need to be reminded!


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?'

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 and WHOSE WE ARE.

You are special- Don't EVER forget it.'

If you do not pass this on, you may never know the

lives it touches, the hurting hearts it speaks to,

or the hope that it can bring.

Count your blessings, not your problems.

'And remember: amateurs built the ark ..

professionals built the Titanic.

Cool underlying message. This looks like something that would be found on Facebook.

That's so awesome to get all the benefits of a seminar without actually having to go!

I need a bucket.

Extraordinary to think that people would see value in a $20 note that had been crumpled. Amazing. What a puerile and idiotic metaphor.

your sarcasm is ususaly funny. Your condescension is not. Sometimes it may be better for you to just ignore threads instaed of chiming in.
