• The 100 Dollar Note – Motivational Story

    A well known speaker started off his seminar by holding up a$100 note in a room of 200 people, and asked, a€œWho would like this $100 note?a€
    Hands started going up.
    He said, a€œI am going to give this $100 noteA to one of you, but first let me do thisa€¦.a€
    He proceeded to crumple the $100 up.
    He then asked, a€œWho still wants it?a€
    Still the hands were up in the air.
    a€œWella€a€¦..he replied,
    a€œWhat if I do this?a€a€¦..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. a€œNow who still wants it?a€ he asked. Hands still shot up!
    a€œMy friends, you have all learned a very valuable lesson.No matter what I did to the money, you still wanted ita€¦because it did not decrease in value. It was stillA worth $100.a€
    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 never lose your value!
    Dirtya€¦.cleana€¦..crumpleda€¦.or finely creaseda€¦.. you are still priceless to those who love you.
    The worth of our lives comes not in what we do or who we know, but by WHO WE ARE.
    You are speciala€¦.dona€™t ever forget it.
