A well-known speaker started off his seminar by holding up a Rupee 1000 NOTE.
In the room of 200, he asked, "Who would like this Rupee 1000 note?"
Hands started going up. He said, "I am going to give this note to one of you but first let me do this." He proceeded to crumple the 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, 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 Rupee 1000/-.
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, you will never lose your value.
You are special. Don't ever forget it! Never let yesterday's disappointments overshadow tomorrow's dreams.

This may be good for inspiration. However, spoiled notes are not circulated and unacceptable. These have to be returned to RBI. Also if you suffer mental or physical injury, your efficiency will decrease and may also get bed ridden or sent to mental hospital. Thus the example given is inapt.
This is a nice inspirable lesson but can you explain the line "Never let yesterday's disappointments overshadow tomorrow's dreams".'I did not understand it clearly
This only means that you should not give too much importance to failures in the past. You can succeed now and in future even if you failed in the past.
