A Person's WorthAnonymousA well-known professor lead off his lecture by withdrawing a 50 dollars bill from his wallet and showing it to the audience. He asked: "Anybody would like to get this bill?" Raised hands started to appear. Then he said: "I'll give this 50 dollars bill to one of you, but before I give it away, allow me to do something with it." He then vigorously crumpled that bill up into a small crummy ball; then he enquired: "Would you still like to have this bill?" Again, many in the audience raised their hands. "Okay, okay, all right; but what would happen if I did this?" He threw the already abused little crumpled bill on the floor and jumped and stomped on it with both feet, again and again, twisting and rubbing it on the auditorium's floor, covering it with dirt. Again, he wanted to know: "Anyone would still like to have this bill?" Of course, the number of raised hands didn't dwindle, not even a bit. "My friends, you've just learned a lesson... It doesn't matter what I do to this bill; you still want it because its value didn't change. It's still worth 50 dollars." "Many times in your life, you'll feel crumpled, rejected, abused, trampled upon and scolded by people or circumstances. You'll be under the impression that you've become a worthless piece of shit; but actually, your worth wouldn't have changed at all in the eyes of the people who love you! A person's worth doesn't hinge on what she does or doesn't do. You can always start anew and reach your goals, because your intrinsic worth would always remain untouched."
Out back in the wrecking yard covered by a ton of rust A veteran of the highway sits and slowly turns to rust No headlights now to show the way, her windshield cracked and glazed Does she sit and ponder what she has seen in better days Trips across the prairie beneath an endless sky Her engine singing loud and strong as the miles went rushing by Thoughts of a winter mountain pass choked with ice and snow She traveled over highways where Angels feared to go North up to the ice roads, south to sand and sun East to west then back again, oh how she loved to run Does she think of the many people who slept there in her bed Does she remember all the things they done and all the things they said Now she's back there in the corner as the days slip slowly by LOOK ---- what's that on her windshield, could a big truck really cry ?

I believe whatever is in store for us will be for us.
for her boyfriend of three years, David Marsden, to propose to her. Then one day when she was out to lunch David proposed! She accepted, but then had to leave
When she got to her office, She checked it, the usual stuff from her friends, but then she saw one that she had never gotten before.
It was this poem. She simply deleted it without even reading all of it. BIG MISTAKE! Later that evening, she received a phone call from the police It was about DAVID! He had been in an accident with an 18 wheeler. He didn't survive!
and being the believer that she was she sent it to a few of her friends but didn't have enough e-mail addresses to send out the full 5 that you must. Three days later, Katie went to a masquerade ball. Later that night when she left to get to her car, she was killed in that spot by a hit-and-run drunk driver.
within 45 minutes of reading it. Not even 4 hours later walking along the street to his new job interview with a really big company, !
his secret love for 5 years. Cynthia came up to him and told him of her passionate crush on him that she had had for 2 years. Three days later, he proposed to her and they got married. Cynthia and Richard are still married with three children, happy as ever!
In this great city that has no end, Yet the days go by and weeks rush on, And before I know it, a year is gone. And I never see my old friends face, For life is a swift and terrible race, He knows I like him just as well, As in the days when I rang his bell. And he rang mine but we were younger then, And now we are busy, tired men. Tired of playing a foolish game, Tired of trying to make a name. "Tomorrow" I say! "I will call on Jim Just to show that I'm thinking of him." But tomorrow comes and tomorrow goes, And distance between us grows and grows. Around the corner, yet miles away, "Here's a telegram sir," "Jim died today." And that's what we get and deserve in the end. Around the corner, a vanished friend. Remember to always say what you mean. If you love someone, tell them. Don't be afraid to express yourself. Reach out and tell someone what they mean to you. Because when you decide that it is the right time it might be too late. Seize the day. Never have regrets. And most importantly, stay close to your friends and family, for they have helped make you the person that you are today. SMILE, even through your |
Embrace !
