Written under a photo of a $20 bill.
"***A MUST READ **** 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."
My response.
"The thing is though, we are not like a $20 bill. If you crumple us and throw us to the ground it can cause irreparable damage. We are more like a slice of toast that gets dropped. If we land butter side up you're gonna pick us up, brush off the dust and eat us anyway. If we land butter side down you're probably gonna just let the dog eat us. No, that's not quite right either. Okay, we're more like a red rubber ball that can bounce tremendously high. Sometimes though we wind up bouncing behind the sofa and get forgotten about. Hmm... Let me try this one more time. Wait, where are you going...?"
