A little boy went to his old grandpa and asked,
"What's the
value of life?"
The grandpa gave him one stone and said, "Find
out the
value of this stone, but don't sell it."
The boy took the stone to an Orange Seller and
asked him
what its cost would be.
The Orange Seller saw the shiny stone and said,
"You can
take 12 oranges and give me the stone."
The boy apologized and said that the grandpa
has asked
him not to sell it.
He went ahead and found a vegetable seller.
"What could be
the value of this stone?" he asked the vegetable
seller.
The seller saw the shiny stone and said, "Take
one sack of
potatoes and give me the stone."
The boy again apologized and said he can't sell
it.
Further ahead, he went into a jewelery shop and
asked the
value of the stone.
The jeweler saw the stone under a lens and said,
"I'll give
you 50 million for this stone." When the boy
shook his head,
the jeweler said, "Alright,alright, take 2 gold
necklace, but
give me the stone."
The boy explained that he can't sell the stone.
Further ahead, the boy saw a precious stone's
shop and
asked the seller the value of this stone.
When the precious stone's seller saw the big
ruby, he lay
down a red cloth and put the ruby on it. Then he
walked in
circles around the ruby and bent down and
touched his head
in front of the ruby. "From where did you bring
this priceless
ruby from?" he asked. "Even if I sell the whole
world, and my
life, I won't be able to purchase this priceless
stone.
Stunned and confused, the boy returned to the
grandpa and
told him what had happened. "Now tell me what
is the value
of life, grandpa?"
Grandpa said, "The answers you got from the
Orange Seller,
the Vegetable Seller, the Jeweler & the Precious
Stone's
Seller explain the value of our life...
You may be a precious stone, even priceless, but
people will
value you based on their financial status, their
level of
information, their belief in you, their motive
behind
entertaining you, their ambition, and their risk
taking ability.
But don't fear, you will surely find someone who
will discern
your true value."
Respect yourself.
You are Unique.
No one can Replace you!
I Believe......
