 A 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 am going to give this to one of you, but first, let me do this. He proceeded to crumple the 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? He dropped it on the ground, and started to grind it into the floor with his shoe. He picked it up, now crumpled and dirty. Now, who still wants it? Still hands went into the air. My friends, you all have 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 dollars. 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 that we are worthless, but, no matter what has happened or what will happen, you will never lose your value, dirty or clean, crumpled or finely creased, you are still priceless to those who love you. The worth of our lives comes not in what we do, or whom we know, but by who we are. You are special, don't ever forget it! Pass this on to those you care about, even the one who sent it to you. You will never know the lives it touches the hurting hearts it speaks to, or the hope that it can bring. Always count your blessings, not your problems.

Laurens County schools closed Friday for all students and staff after a possible norovirus outbreak. Superintendent Rob Johnson says 60 students ranging from ages four to seven were throwing up Thursday morning. "By 1, 1:30 p.m. we had about 140 kids that were ill, so we knew we had a problem and we knew we had to do something,” Johnson said.

As a responsible business, CJ Maintenance utilizes the practice of least harmful cleaning methods throughout the various building and location that we service. In doing this we can help create a better indoor and outdoor environment. A lot of attention is typically given to the outdoor environment, however, most people spend the majority of their time indoors. By utilizing least harmful cleaning methods, we help protect our employees, and the building occupants from the hazards of harmful chemicals. When and where possible, we choose products that are biodegradable and that will not contaminate our water supply and the environment. We also promote recycling. We have helped many clients setup and implement programs to recycle a large amount of waste that they generate daily. As a member of the U.S. Green Building Council, and providing facility services to many public and private school, we support the efforts to green all of America’s K-12 schools within a generation. Green schools save money, conserve energy and water, and foster better-performing, healthier students. Everyone can do their part by exercising better habits when it comes to "green" cleaning by selecting more sustainable products, utilizing safer methods of cleaning, and reusing and recycling when possible.
