Value of Life
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 jewellery shop and asked the
value of the stone.
The jeweller saw the stone under a lens and said, "I'll
give you 1 million for this stone."
When the boy shook his head, the jeweller said,
"Alright, alright, take 2 24karat gold necklaces, 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 the value of life, grandpa is?"
Grandpa said, "The answers you got from the Orange
Seller, the Vegetable Seller, the Jeweller and 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.*
*Don't sell yourself cheap.*
*You are rare, Unique, Original and the only one of your
kind.*
