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…
