Everyone is special.

In a seminar, the speaker started off by holding up a 20bux, and he asked who would like the 20bux. Hands started going up.
He said he will give this 20bux to someone, but he wants to do an experiment first.
He then crumpled it, and asked who still wants it, hands stayed in the air.
He then dropped the 20bill onto the ground and started to grind it into the floor with his shoes.
He picked up the now dirty and crumpled bill and asked who still wants it .
None of them put down their hands.
He then proceeded to say "No matter what i did to the money, you still wanted it because it did not decrease in the value."
"Many times in our lives, we are dropped, crumpled, and ground into the dirt by the decisions we make and the circumstances that come out 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 and whose we are. Everyone is special. "
