The Magic of Paper.

The 20 Dollar bill

A well known speaker started off his seminar by holding up a $20 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 the 20 dollar note up. He then asked. “Who still wants it?” Still the hands were up in the air.

“Well,” he replied, “what if I do this?” 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.

Some stories you never forget, one of them being the story of the 20 Dollar bill.....Performed by an anonymous person in front of 200 people.

“My friends, you 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 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 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.”

Not easily broken indeed.

One could not count the moons that shimmer on her roofs...

Or the thousand splendid suns that hide behind her walls .....

One of the few books that had me bawling ,it had me thinking for a long long time that things like this also happen....!!!!!why is there so much pain, trauma a troubled life to live ......sad!!!

one should be happy with what they have and should'nt be greedy to have more,you should surely strive to make your life better but when it is not possible do not forget those who are more down trodden than you think YOU are!!!!
