$20

someone forwarded me this and I used to delete spam emails like this. but I believe you will read it if I put it here ;-)

Sometimes we just need to be reminded!


A well-known speaker started off his seminar by
holding up a $20.00 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 up the $20 dollar bill.
He then asked, "Who still wants it?"
Still the hands were up in the air.
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.
He picked it up, now crumpled and dirty.
"Now, who still wants it?"
Still the hands went into the air
My friends, we 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 has 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 DO 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."
If you do not pass this on, you may never know the
lives it touches, the hurting hearts it speaks to,
or the hope that it can bring.
Count your blessings, not your problems.

bagus la cerita ni.. actually menda2 bagus camni ada dalam Quran, cuma kalau we put it in this kind of story, baru lah orang suka baca dan paham maksudnya. tak gitu maulana gee?

taiko: ya aku setuju. baca quran kita tak baca terjemahan. baca quran pun malas tambah nak baca terjemahan. cerita ni mmg bagus. walaupun ramai org tak suka kita, tetapi ramai jugak yang suka kita. yang penting org disisi sentiasa menyayangi kita. HeHe
