Priceless Stone

One day a Young Boy asked his father “what is the value of his life?”

Instead of answering, the father told his son to take this rock and go sell it at a market.

If anybody asks the price, raise two fingers and don’t say anything. 

The boy went to the market, and woman asked,” How much is this rock? I want to put it in my garden.” 

The boy didn’t say anything and raised up two fingers and woman said, “2 dollars? I’ll take it.” 

And boy went home and told his father, a woman wants to buy this rock for 2 dollars. 

The father then said, “Son, I want you to take this rock to a museum, if anybody wants to buy it don’t say a words and just put up two fingers.” 

The Boy then went to the museum and man wanted to buy the rock, the boy didn’t say a word and put up 2 fingers and man said, “ $200?  I’ll take it.” 

The boy was shocked and went running home and told his father, “Father a man wants to buy this rock for $200.” 

His father then said, “Son, the last place I want you to take this rock is to a precious stone store, show it to the owner and don’t say a word and if he asks the price just put up two fingers.”

The son went to precious stone store, he showed the rock to owner, “Where did you find this stone? It is one of the rarest stones in the word, I must have it! How much would you sell it for?”. The boy put up two fingers. And man said I’ll take it for $200,000.

The boy not knowing what to say, ran home to his father, “Father, There’s a man that wants to buy stone for $200,000!” 

His father then said, “Son, Do you know the value of your life now? You see it doesn’t matter where you come from, where you were born. The color of your skin or how much money you were born into. It matters where you decide to place yourself, the people you surround yourself with and how you choose to carry yourself. You may have lived your whole life thinking that you were a $2 stone. You may have lived your whole life surrounded by people that saw your worth for only $2. But everybody has a diamonds inside of them. And we can choose to surround our self with people that see our value and see the diamonds inside of us.  We can choose to put our self in a market or put our self in a precious stone store. And you can also choose to see the value in other people. You can help other people see the diamond inside of them. Choose the people you surround yourself with wisely. That can make all the difference in your life.

I received this message via WhatsApp Video, which is said by Sean Buranahiran. He gives very beautiful life message and I liked this. So I spread this by blog also. 

You can be surrounded by people that only see your value of 2 dollars or you can choose to be around people that see your value at $200,000. 

And some people… will see you as priceless…
