"VALUE HAS A VALUE, ONLY IF ITS VALUE IS VALUED BY YOU"

This is a short story but worth to read & will add value to what we are doing.

A Well-known speaker started off his seminar by holding up a $500/- note.
In the room of 200, he asked, "Who would like this 500 note?".
Hands started going up. He said, "I am going to give this note to one of you but
First let me do this". He proceeded to crumple the note up. 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
all crumpled and dirty. "Now who still wants it?" Still the hands went
Into the air. "My friends, you 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 $ 500/-."

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,

"You are special" Don't ever forget it! Never let yesterday's
Disappointments overshadow tomorrow's dreams. Just do your
best,
Dream will come true.

"VALUE HAS A VALUE, ONLY IF ITS VALUE IS VALUED BY YOU"

A SOUTH INDIAN STUDENT ON HIS FIRST DAY AT SCHOOL IN THE USA


It was the first day of school and a new student from India entered the fourth grade.

The teacher said, "Let's begin by reviewing some American History.Who said, "Give me Liberty, or give me Death"? She saw a sea of blank faces, except for Indian, who had his hand up: "Patrick Henry, 1775" he said.

"Very good!" Who said, "Government of the People, by thePeople, for the People, shall not perish from the Earth?" Again, no response except from Indian. "Abraham Lincoln, 1863" said Indian.

The teacher snapped at the class, "you should be ashamed. Indian, who is new to our country, knows moreabout its history than you do."

She heard a loud whisper: "F**k the Indians," "Who said that?" she demanded. Indian put his hand up. "General Custer, 1862."

At that point, a student in the back said, "I'm gonna puke." The teacher glares around and asks "All right! Now, who said that?" Again, Indian says, "George Bush to the Japanese Prime Minister, 1991."

Now furious, another student yells, "Oh yeah? S*ck this!" Indian jumps out of his chair waving his hand and shouts to the teacher, "Bill Clinton, to Monica Lewinsky, 1997!"

Now with almost mob hysteria someone said, "You little shit. If you say anything else, I'll kill you." Indian frantically yells at the top of his voice, "Gary Condit to Chandra Levy, 2001."

The teacher fainted. And as the class gathered around the teacher on the floor, someone said, "Oh shit, we're f**ked!" and Indian said quietly, "George Bush, Iraq, 2005."
