[00:00:03] Twenty Dollars

[00:00:05] A well-known speaker started off

[00:00:08] his seminar by holding up a $20 bill.

[00:00:11] In the room of 200,

[00:00:14] he asked, "Who would like this $20 bill?"

[00:00:18] Hands started going up.

[00:00:21] He said, "I am going to give this $20 to one of you,

[00:00:26] but first, let me do this."

[00:00:29] He proceeded to crumple the dollar bill up.

[00:00:32] He then asked, "Who still wants it?"

[00:00:37] Still the hands were up in the air.

[00:00:40] "Well," he replied, "what if I do this?"

[00:00:45] And he dropped it on the ground

[00:00:47] and started to grind it

[00:00:48] into the floor with his shoe.

[00:00:51] He picked it up, now all crumpled and dirty.

[00:00:55] "Now, who still wants it?"

[00:00:59] Still the hands went into the air.

[00:01:03] "My friends, you have all learned

[00:01:06] a very valuable lesson.

[00:01:08] No matter what I did to the money,

[00:01:11] you still wanted it because

[00:01:13] it did not decrease in value.

[00:01:16] It was still worth $20."

[00:01:19] "Many times in our lives,

[00:01:21] we are dropped, crumpled,

[00:01:24] and ground into the dirt

[00:01:26] by the decisions we make

[00:01:27] and the circumstances that come our way.

[00:01:31] We feel as though we are worthless;

[00:01:34] but no matter what happened

[00:01:36] or what will happen,

[00:01:38] you will never lose your value. "

[00:01:41] "Dirty or clean, crumpled or finely creased,

[00:01:46] you are still priceless to those who love you.

[00:01:50] The worth of our lives comes,

[00:01:53] not in what we do or who we know,

[00:01:56] but by... WHO WE ARE! "

[00:02:00] "You are special- don't ever forget it!"
