well known speaker started off his seminar by holding up a $20 bill. In the room of 200, he asked, "Who would like this $20 bill?" Hands started going up. He said, "I plan to give this $20 to one of you, but first let me do this." He proceeded to crumple the dollar bill 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, you have all learned a very valuable lesson. No matter what I did to the money, you still wanted it because it did not decrease in value. It was still worth $20. 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. We feel as though we are worthless. But no matter what has happened or what will happen, we will never lose our value. You are special - and don't ever forget it!"Hello, my name is KOYO. I am an international student from Japan. I am going to a community college in Hayward. If you study Japanese and need some help, I would love to lend a helping hand =) But you need to help my English aswell! please! I came to the US about 2 years ago. I started my life here with nothing. No friends, no parents, and no money...kidding, I had lots of money!! mwahaha. (Correction: Parents' money)After the arrival in America, I went to the English school located in Oxnard near LA. I had lots of Japanese friends. But at that time, I wasn't sure if I was satisfied with my life. I asked myself Can I just keep doing this?? I was always with Japanese and spoke Japanese. I am kind of the person who always wishes nothing would happen to me, so I dont need to do new things. I am lazy =p But I thought I should have changed myself. SO I decided to move to San Francisco. The reason why I chose SF is first Im gay. and I really love the city of San Francisco.It's been a year since I moved in SF. Ive got one greatest friend. (He used to be my boy friend =). And hoping I will be able to meet more great friends. I like the company with girls. I kind of feel closer with girls than boys. =P "Dareka no Negai ga Kanau Koro" Utada HikaruDo you choose to be happy for only yourself, or suffer to make your loved one happy?.. width="425" height="350" ..
