A Good Lesson To Learn From The Value Of #500

From someone experience
MAKE A MOVE
1. It happened some time ago. I was in an audience listening
to a motivational speaker. The speaker got out his wallet &
pulled out a 500 Naira note. Holding it up, he asked, “Who
wants this 500 naira note?” Lots of hands went up.
Including mine. A slow chorus began to build as people
began to shout “Me!” “Me!” I began to wonder who the
lucky one would be who the speaker would choose. And I
also secretly wondered (and I am sure others did too) why
he would simply give away 500 naira.
Even as the shouts of “I want it” grew louder, I noticed a
young woman running down the aisle. She ran upon to the
stage, went up to the speaker, and grabbed the five 500
naira note from his hand. “Well done, young lady,” said the
speaker into the microphone.
The speaker simply say “Most of us just sit and wait for
good things to happen. That’s of no use. You’ve got to
make things happen. Make a move” ‘Simply thinking about
doing something is of no use and not good enough’. Our
lives are like that. We all see opportunities around us. We
all want the good things. But the problem is we don’t take
action. We all want the 500 naira notes on offer. But we
don’t make the move. We look at it longingly. Get up, and do
something about it. Don’t worry about what other people
might think.
TAKE ACTION
2. Later, the speaker got another 500 naira note and held it
up for all to see, I thought I knew what’s up. But he just
asked a simple question. “How much is this worth?” “Five
Hundred naira!” the crowd yelled in unison. “Right,” said
the speaker. He then took the note and crumpled it into a
ball and asked “How much is it worth now?”
“Five Hundred naira!” screamed the audience. He then
threw the note on the ground, stamped all over it and
picked up the note and asked one more time: “And how
much is it worth now?” “Five Hundred naira!” was the
response. “I want you to remember this,” said the speaker.
“Just because someone crumples it, or stamps on it, the
value of the note does not diminish. We should all be like the
500 naira note.. In our lives, there will be times when we
feel crushed, stamped over, beaten. But never let your
self-worth diminish. Just because someone chooses to
crush you — that doesn’t change your worth one bit!
Don’t allow your self-worth to diminish because someone
says something nasty or does something dirty to you.”
Never let your self-worth diminish.
It doesn't stop from just reading it apply it.
