There was a professor in a college in Manila that started his class one day holding a 1000 peso bill in a room of 40 students. He asked them. “Anyone of you who would like this 1000 peso bill?”
Everyone raised their hands. They were shouting at the prof and they were rowdy. Then he said. “Alright, class. I will give this 1000 peso bill to someone in this class but first…”
He crumpled the money numerous times and after that he raised it again. He asked again the students. “Who still wants the crumpled money?” Still, the students were still raising their hands like crazy.
The professor said. “Okay, class. What if I do this?” he crumpled the bill again and he tossed it to the garbage can. Again he asked the class. “Who still wants the money?” Again, the students raised their hands.
“You all learned a valuable lesson in life today, class. Didn’t you see that no matter how I crumpled or thew the money you still wanted it not because it was beautiful but because of the value of it? No matter how I crumpled it or threw it, its worth is still the same. “ he explained.
“In life, you will be crumpled a lot of times and you will be thrown in the garbage by other people, your decisions and the circumstances along the way. You will feel that you are worthless but like this 1000 pesos, you will never lose your value.
Dirty or crumpled the people who loves you know that you are priceless and your value will never be substituted. Our worth doesn’t depend on the things that we are doing or the people we know, it’s always on who we are.
