Never Lost Your Value

I forget where I heard this from, but I think this is very meaningful.

A teacher is teaching her D Class students, and all of them has lost interest in her lecture. So she made everyone sit up straight instead of lying down.

Student A : 'Teacher, why are you wasting your time? We are all from D class. No one will score high in our examination.'

After hearing this, she took a brand new $50 note from her wallet and show it to the whole class.

'What is this, Class?' The teacher asked.

'$50, of course!' replied Student B.

'How does it look like?'

Student C : 'It's a crispy brand new note. Why?'

The teacher starts to crumple it, and opened it up.

'What is this, Class?' She asked again.

'Crumpled $50 note' Student D said, thinking she will ask how does it looked like again.

The teacher throw the note on the floor and stepped on it hard. After that, she picked it up, wipe away the dust on the note, and showed it to the class again.

'What do you think this is now?'

'$50' The whole class answered.

'See, no matter how I crumpled it, stepped on it, it is still a $50. It has never lost it's value. It applies to our life too. Others may looked down on us, stepped on us, discouraged us, but you are what you are. Your value is still the same. Other gives your respect, and you set your own value. You know what you are.'

Sometimes we might feel disheartened, on what happened to us. However, stay positive. We will prove our value.
