WHO WE ARE

A popular speaker started off his lecture by holding up RM100. In the room teeming with people, he asked "who would like this RM100?". Hands started going up. He said, "I'm going to give this RM100 to one of you but first, let me do this." He proceeded to crumple the RM100 note up. He then asked, "now who wants it?". Still the hands were up in the air.

"Well", he continued, "what if I do this?". He dropped it on the floor 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 RM100. 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 come; not in what we do or who we know, but by....Who We Are
