It's the month of September and I am excited, it's the last quarter of the year and there is still time to take stock of the 8 months that have passed and still accomplish more feats.
I will be doing a series on fables and stories for this month so sit back and enjoy.
I read the story below on several sites and I have slightly modified the story to fit what is obtainable in Nigeria.
The Story:
"A well
known speaker started off his seminar by holding up N1000 note.
In the
room of 200, he asked, “Who would like this N1000 note?”Hands started going up.
He said, “I am going to give this N1000 to one of you but first, let me do this.” He proceeded to crumple the naira note up.
He then asked, “Who still wants it?”
Still the hands were up in the air.
“Well,”
he replied, “What if I do this?” And he dropped it on the ground and started to
grind it into the floor with his shoe.
He
picked it up, now all crumpled and dirty. “Now who still wants it?”
Still
the hands went into the air.
“My
friends, no matter what I did to the money, you still wanted it because it did
not decrease in value. It was still worth N1000.
Many
times in our lives, we are dropped, crumpled, and ground into the dirt by the
decisions we make and the circumstances that come our way.
