Subject: [smartchi_therapy] Fw: Twenty dollars
FYI: Another RENUNGAN (Kiriman tetangga sebelah)
A well-known speaker started off his seminar 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
may 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.
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 may bring. Count your blessings, not your
problems.
