One psychology teacher began his seminar by holding up a $10 bill. He asked who wanted to receive the bill. Many raised their hands. He asked those who did not raise their hands. And it turned out that they, too, were not averse to receiving a bill, but were embarrassed to raise their hand.
“Before one of you receives this bill, I will do something with it,” the psychologist continued.
He crumpled up the bill and then asked if anyone still wanted it. And again almost everyone raised their hands.
“Then,” he answered, “I do the following,” and, throwing the bill on the floor, I lightly rolled it with my shoe on the dirty floor.
Then he picked up the bill, the bill was wrinkled and dirty.
- Well, which of you needs it in this form?
And everyone raised their hands again.
“Dear friends,” said the psychology teacher, “we have just received an object lesson.” Despite everything I did to the bill, you all wanted to get it because it had not lost its value. She's still a $10 bill.
It often happens in our lives that we find ourselves thrown out of the saddle, trampled, lying on the floor or in complete shit. These are the realities of our life. In such situations we feel worthless. But no matter what happened or will happen, we will not lose our true value. Dirty or clean, wrinkled or ironed - we will always have the value that we represent. And we will be priceless to all those who love us. Our worth is determined not by what we do or who we know, but by WHO we really are. What about the banknote? As promised, I will give it to you. Because I respect myself and keep my word. But, since there were many applicants, I will give the exam to the best person who passes it.
