THE $20 BILL

**uyen** · 21-06-2007, 12:10 PM

A WELL-KNOWN SPEAKER STARTED OFF HIS SEMINAR BY HOLDING UP A $20
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 TO ONE OF YOU, BUT FIRST, LET ME DO THIS.
HE PROCEEDED TO CRUMPLE THE BILL UP. HE THEN ASKED, WHO STILL WANTS
IT?
STILL THE HANDS WERE UP IN THE AIR.
WELL, HE REPLIED, WHAT IF I DO THIS? 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 HANDS WENT INTO THE AIR.

MY FRIENDS, YOU ALL HAVE 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 DOLLARS.

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
THAT 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 LOVE YOU.
THE WORTH OF OUR LIVES COME NOT IN WHAT WE DO, OR WHO WE KNOW, BUT, BY WHO
WE ARE. YOU ARE SPECIAL, DON'T EVER FORGET IT!!
PASS THIS ON TO THOSE YOU CARE ABOUT, EVEN THE ONE WHO SENT IT TO YOU.
YOU WILL NEVER KNOW THE LIVES IT TOUCHES THE HURTING HEARTS IT SPEAKS TO,
OR THE HOPE THAT IT CAN BRING.
ALWAYS COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS, NOT YOUR PROBLEMS.

**countrybee** · 21-06-2007, 12:39 PM

at first i thought it's about the new S$20 to be implemented, ha ha ha! it's so strange that for the longest time we didn't have the S$20 bill in circulation.

because between the $10 and $50, there is a big gap.
