Who still wants this bill?

By Paulo Coelho

Cassan Said Amer tells a story about a lecturer who began a seminar holding up a 20 dollar bill, and asking:

- Who wants this 20 dollar bill?

Several hands went up, but the lecturer said:

- Before handing it over, there’s something I must do.

He furiously crushed it, and asked again:

- Who still wants this bill?

The hands continued raised.

- And what if I do this?

He threw it against the wall, letting it fall to the floor, kicked it, stamped in it and again held up the bill - all dirty and crumpled. He repeated the question, and the hands continued to be held high.

- You mustn’t ever forget this scene - said the lecturer. - No matter what I do with this money, it’ll still be a 20 dollar bill. Many times in our lives, we are crushed, stamped on, kicked, maltreated, offended; however, in spite of this, we are still worth the same.

Glad Day

Quote of the Day

By Paulo Coelho

The two hardest tests on the spiritual road
are the patience to wait for the right moment
and the courage not to be disappointed
with what we encounter.
(Veronika decides to Die)

Today’s Question by Aart Hilal

You are one of the few authors who give readers your books for free, I am sure that would have raised a lot of objection from your publishers, how did you deal with it?

Actually, all my publishers backed me up. Harper Collins, for example, decided to offer a new book of mine every month, for free reading. I’m putting them in my blog too: www.paulocoelhoblog.com
