[00:03.65]Twenty Dollars
[00:05.86]A well-known speaker started off
[00:08.35]his seminar by holding up a $20 bill.
[00:11.68]In the room of 200,
[00:14.38]he asked, "Who would like this $20 bill?"
[00:18.62]Hands started going up.
[00:21.53]He said, "I am going to give this $20 to one of you,
[00:26.29]but first, let me do this."
[00:29.52]He proceeded to crumple the dollar bill up.
[00:32.97]He then asked, "Who still wants it?"
[00:37.14]Still the hands were up in the air.
[00:40.74]"Well," he replied, "what if I do this?"
[00:45.14]And he dropped it on the ground
[00:47.12]and started to grind it
[00:48.83]into the floor with his shoe.
[00:51.53]He picked it up, now all crumpled and dirty.
[00:55.61]"Now, who still wants it?"
[00:59.91]Still the hands went into the air.
[01:03.83]"My friends, you have all learned
[01:06.41]a very valuable lesson.
[01:08.91]No matter what I did to the money,
[01:11.46]you still wanted it because
[01:13.37]it did not decrease in value.
[01:16.25]It was still worth $20."
[01:19.74]"Many times in our lives,
[01:21.92]we are dropped, crumpled,
[01:24.13]and ground into the dirt
[01:26.12]by the decisions we make
[01:27.97]and the circumstances that come our way.
[01:31.229996]We feel as though we are worthless;
[01:34.0]but no matter what happened
[01:36.14]or what will happen,
[01:38.04]you will never lose your value. "
[01:41.56]"Dirty or clean, crumpled or finely creased,
[01:46.33]you are still priceless to those who love you.
[01:50.55]The worth of our lives comes,
[01:53.0]not in what we do or who we know,
[01:56.369995]but by... WHO WE ARE! "
[02:00.13]"You are special- don't ever forget it!"
