Free RM 100.00, anyone ???

A well-known speaker started off her seminar by holding up a RM100.00 bill. In the room of 200, she asked, "Who would like this RM100.00 bill?" Hands started going up.

She said, "I am going to give this RM100.00 to one of you but first, let me do this." She proceeded to crumple the RM100.00 dollar bill up. She then asked, "Who still wants it?" Still the hands were up in the air. "Well", she replied, "What if I do this?" And she dropped it on the ground and started to grind it into the floor with her "pink sparkle" shoe. She 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", she said, "No matter what I did to the money, you still wanted it because it did not decrease in value. It was still worth RM100.00.

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.... and especially to those who 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."
