Hey, Before You Give Up On Yourself, Read This!

I got this message from a friend and I felt it was necessary to put it out here. So inspiring and enlightening.

Just in case you are about to give up on yourself.

Two important management lessons I learnt from a 500 Naira note.

1. It happened some time ago I was in an audience listening to a motivational speaker.

The speaker got out his wallet & pulled out a 500 Naira note. Holding it up, he asked, \”Who wants this 500 naira note?\” Lots of hands went up. Including mine.

A slow chorus began to build as people began to shout \”Me!\” \”Me!\” I began to wonder who the lucky one the speaker would choose and I also secretly wondered (and I am sure others did too ) why he
would simply give away 500 naira.

Even as the shouts of \”I want it\” grew louder, I noticed a young woman running down the aisle. She ran up
onto the stage, went up to the speaker, and grabbed the five 500 naira note from his hand.

\”Well done, young lady,\” said the speaker into the microphone. The speaker simply say \”Most of us just sit and wait for good things to happen.

That\’s of no use.

You\’ve got to make things happen. Make a move\” \’Simply thinking about doing something is of no use and not good enough\’. Our lives are like that. We all see opportunities around us. We all want the good things but the problem is we don\’t take action. We all want the 500 naira notes on offer but wedon\’t make the move. We look at it longingly. Get up, and do something about it. Don\’t worry about
what other people might think. Take action.

2. Later, the speaker got another 500 naira note and held it up for all to see. I thought I knew what\’s up but he just
asked a simple question. \”How much is this worth?\” \”Five Hundred naira!\” the crowd yelled in unison. \”Right,\” said the speaker. He then took the note and crumpled it into a ball and asked \”How much is it worth now?\”
\”Five Hundred naira!\” screamed the audience. He then threw the note on the ground, stamped all over it and picked up the note and asked one more time: \”And how much is it worth now?\” \”Five Hundred naira!\” was the response. \”I want you to
remember this,\” said the speaker. \”Just because someone crumples it, or stamps on it, the value
of the note does not diminish. We should all be like the 500 naira note..

In our lives, there will be times when we feel crushed, stamped over, beaten but never let yourself-worth diminish.

Just because someone chooses to crush you doesn\’t change your worth one bit! Don\’t allow your self-worth to diminish because
someone says something nasty or does something dirty to you.\”

NEVER LET YOUR SELF-WORTH DIMINISH!!!

I had a great time reading this. I feel inspired to forge ahead, what about you?

Choose to stay healthy and live purified.
