For those who feel bad ...
Quote:
One day, a renowned motivator opened the seminar with a unique way.
While holding the currency denomination of U.S. $ 100, he asked his audience,

“Who wants this money?”

There was a lot of hands went up, sign a lot of interest.

“I will give this money to one of you, ladies and gentlemen, but first let me do this.”

He stood close to the audience. Then he knead the money with his hands until many times over. Then he asked,

“Who still wants this money?”

The number of hands that went up was reduced.

“Okay” he replied, “What would happen if I do this?”. He said, then he dropping the money into the floor and trampling it with his shoes. : Mad:

Though still intact, now the money’s so very dirty and not smooth anymore.

“Well, if anyone is still interested?”

The hands that held up still remains a lot.

“Ladies and gentlemen, now you’ve just got an important lesson. Whatever happens with this money, you’re still interested because of what I did not reduce its value. Although dishevelled and dirty, this money is still worth 100 dollars.”

In this life, we had several times fallen, torn, and covered in dirt from the decisions we make and the situations that hit us. In such conditions, we feel unworthy, or meaningless. But anything that has and will happen, you will never lose value in the eyes of those who love you.

So, every time you feels that yourself not mean, remember the 100 dollar bill. Never forget – you are SPECIAL.

Everybody wants to be special but they´re not.
You are not a uniqe snowflake.
And people NEVER love you unconditionally. People suck.

:lol: take the story as you want, but be sure your interpretation is NOT what you should get out of this ...

Although I have to say that when I first read it in french it just said something along the line of :
Even though you can have a rough day, feeling like shit and all that, you are still the same (there were no mention of other people loving you ... but I didn't find another version in english)

Also, can't you be special AND ordinary ?
YOUR BODY IS SPECIAL, there is no one else looking like you, having the same fingerprints, DNA, ...

NO SNOWFLAKES ARE THE SAME, NO PLANTS ARE THE SAME, NO TREES ARE THE SAME ...

ONLY THOUGHTS ARE THE SAME (but that's another subject ...)
