A

One day a famous speaker gave a speech to a crowd of people. He held up a 20-dollar bill，and

asked, “Who would like this $20 bill?” Hands were raised. Then he said, “I am going to give this $20 to

one of you, but first let me do this.” He began to the money. He then asked the audience,

“Anybody still wants it?” Still the hands went up in the air.

“What if I do this?” He asked, and he let it fall on the ground, and started to step on it, then he

picked it up. Now the bill was dirty and crumpled. “Now who still wants it?” Still the hands went up.

“My friends,” He continued, “you have all learned a good lesson. No matter what I did to the

money, you still wanted it because the bill did not lose its value. It was still worth $20. Many times in

our lives, we are dropped, crumpled, and stepped on, because we sometimes make wrong decisions, or

we may meet with something we do not expect. When that happens, we feel depressed and think we are

worthless. But in fact no matter what has happened or what will happen, you will never lose your value.

The worth of our life comes not in what we do or whom we know, but in who we are! Don t forget the

worth of a thing does not depend on its outside looks, but on its inner value. This is the truth of life.”
