All the hands in the room went up again. With that, he then dropped the money on the floor and stood on it.
Again, every single hand was raised. In life, we will metaphorically be crumpled and stood on. Why, then, do we feel entirely worthless and less valuable after this?
We are still valuable, and we still deserve the same love and respect as before. We are all unique and valuable, never forget that. Here goes a funny story to make you smile. One night, four University students decided to stay out late. As they were partying and having a great time, they paid no interest in the test that they had the next day.
In the morning, as they felt a little bit tired and full of regrets. As a team, they created a master plan. They proceeded to tell him that they have been to a wedding, and on the way back, their tire had gone flat, and they had to push their car back to campus. The lecturer wilfully listened to their tale and agreed that they could re-take the test in a few days. The students were delighted and believed they had got away with it.
On the day of the test, all students were separated. They were then given the test, which shockingly had one question:. Always be honest. Some people complain about life. People were continually visiting an older man, complaining about the same old problems in life.
Over and over again, the older man would hear the same complaints. One day, instead of offering advice, the older man decided to tell them a joke. People roared with laughter. A few minutes later, he told them the exact same joke, and a few of them smiled. He then said the joke a third time, and nobody laughed or smiled.
Instead of complaining and dwelling on various issues, make strides to try and change the situation. The star of this story is the blind girl. If you don't, you will be, for a lifetime.. Don't tell me that knowledge isn't power. Education changes everything. I did not so much gain the knowledge of things by the words, as words by the experience I had of things. We are in the era of knowledge and information.
Information leads a true leader and a true leader leads others. The pearl merchant gave up everything he had to own the precious pearl. The Kingdom of God is so valuable that we will want to give up everything to be in it.
