Several years later, it was another day, another time.
And another motivational guru.
As I watched him pull out a five hundred rupee note and hold it up forall to see, I thought I knew what he was going to do next. But he justasked a simple question. "How much is this worth?"
"Five Hundred rupees!" the crowd yelled in unison.
"Right," said the speaker. He then took the note and crumpledit into a ball and asked "How much is it worth now?"
"Five Hundred rupees!" screamed the audience.
He then threw the note on the ground, stamped all over it and picked upthe note and asked one more time: "And how much is it worth now?"
"Five Hundred rupees!" was the response.
"I want you to remember this," said the speaker.
"Just because someone crumples it, or stamps on it, the value of thenote does not diminish.
We should all be like the five hundred rupee 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 tocrush you -- that doesn't change your worth one bit!
Don't allow your self-worth to diminish because someone says somethingnasty -- or does something dirty -- to you."
'Never let your self-worth diminish'
