'Are You Worthwhile?'
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 WHAT WE ARE.
You are special! Coz God made us so...
Don't EVER forget it.'

After read this story, i realize many things from it..
atleast I never lose my VALUE until now..!!
even though, i had done so many bad things in my life..
good things people never will mentioned or remember,
but bad things people always will remember and mentioned about it..
tiz is the real world, i cant deny it!
all the dirt, darkness past i over so many years..
is hard for me to get rid of it..!!
(i believe most people will have their secret stories & unknown pasts
that wish no one will ever know)
We'r HUMAN,
we should live as who we are & what we are,
not as what we do or who we know..
Be yourself, no matter good or bad..
because each of us is created to b SPECIAL!
we still that priceless to those who love us~~
Dun feel bad about the past u did or had..
Should feel good about whatever u do and have now..
I found this story motivate & inspire me much..
hw bout u?

Cheer Up ^^
