So Here is the story for this week – Honesty – VALUE !

“A popular speaker started off a seminar by holding up a 100 rupee note. A crowd of 200 had gathered to hear him speak. He asked, ‘Who would like this 100 rupee note?’

200 hands went up.

He said, ‘I am going to give this note to one of you but first, let me do this.’ He crumpled the note up.

He then asked, ‘Who still wants it?’

All 200 hands were still raised.

‘Well,’ he replied, ‘What if I do this?’ Then he dropped the note on the ground and stomped on it with his shoes.

He picked it up, and showed it to the crowd. The note was all crumpled and dirty.

‘Now who still wants it?’

All the hands still went up.

‘My friends, I have just showed you a very important lesson. No matter what I did to the money, you still wanted it because it did not decrease in value. It was still worth 100 rupees. Many times in our lives, life crumples us and grinds us into the dirt. We make bad decisions or deal with poor circumstances. We feel 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!’

What do you think is the moral of the story?
