KNOW UR Value.... !

 

A well-known speaker started off his public speech in a strange

manner - by holding up a Rupee 1000 Note !! Holding up the Note high

in the air in one of his hands, he addressed the eagerly looking

curious audience, " Who would like this Rupee 1000 Note? "

 

With great cheers almost all of them raised their hands with the

shout, " I want it " , " I want it " !! He said, " Oh! that's nice. Well, I

am going to give this Note to one of you... But, first let me do

this. " Then, he crumpled the Note in his hands vigorously & now

showed the awkwardly wrinkled 1000 Rupee Note by holding up high in

his hand.

 

He then asked, " Who still wants it? "

The same hands went up in the air this time too.

 

" 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 like a

mad man. It seemed he is deriving great merriment in his unusual act.

He picked it up, now all crumpled and dirty. It was so smudgy that no

one could recognise it now as a 1000 Rupee Note. " Now who still wants

it? " Strangly, now also, all the hands were up in the air with equal

cheers & spirit.

 

Now he addressed his audience with great feeling. " My friends, " said

he, " You have all learned a very valuable lesson today. No matter

what I did to this valuable Rupee Note, all of you still wanted it

because it did not decrease in value. It was still worth the same -

Rs.1000/-.

 

Many times in our lives, we are dropped, crumpled, and ground into

the dirt of shame & insult by the decisions we make and the

circumstances that come in 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. In the eyes of God, you are the

same " most precious jewel of His " .

 

You are special. Don't ever forget it ! Never let yesterday's

disappointments overshadow tomorrow's dreams.

 

" VALUE HAS A VALUE ONLY IF ITS VALUE IS VALUED ! "
