Twenty Dollars







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.

"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."

Good one.. :D

NOW take this...

A man and his girlfriend were married. It was a large

celebration. All of their friends and family came to see the

lovely ceremony and to partake of the festivities and

celebrations. All had a wonderful time.

A few months later, the wife comes to the husband with a

proposal: "I read in a magazine, a while ago, about how we can

strengthen our marriage."

She offered, "Each of us will write a list of the things that

we find a bit annoying with the other person. Then, we can talk

about how we can fix them together and make our lives happier

together."

The husband agreed. So each of them went to a separate room in

the house and thought of the things that annoyed them about the

other. They thought about this question for the rest of the day

and wrote down what they came up with.

The next morning, at the breakfast table, they decided that

they would go over their lists. "I'll start," offered the wife.

She took out her list. It had many items on it. Enough to fill

3 pages, in fact. As she started reading the list of the little

annoyances, she noticed that tears were starting to appear in

her husband’s eyes.

"What's wrong?" she asked. "Nothing" the husband replied, "keep

reading your list."

The wife continued to read until she had read all three pages

to her husband. She neatly placed her list on the table and

folded her hands over top of it.

"Now, you read your list and then we'll talk about the things

on both of our lists." She said happily.

Quietly the husband stated, "I don't have anything on my list.

I think that you are perfect the way that you are. I don't want

you to change anything for me. You are lovely and wonderful and

I wouldn't want to try and change anything about you."

The wife, touched by his honesty and the depth of his love for

her and his acceptance of her, turned her head and wept.

IN LIFE, there are enough times when we are disappointed,

depressed and annoyed. We don't really have to go looking for

them.

We have a wonderful world that is full of beauty, light and

promise.

Why waste time in this world looking for the bad, disappointing

or annoying when we can look around us, and see the wondrous

things before us?

I believe that WE ARE HAPPIEST WHEN we see and praise the good

and try our best to forget the bad. Nobody's perfect but we

can find perfect ness in them to change the way we see them.
