One day,a son asked his father,“What is my life worth?”
His father gave him a stone and said,“If you want to know,take this to the market. If someone asks the price,stay quiet and hold up two fingers.”
The boy went to the market. An old woman asked how much the stone was. The boy held up two fingers. The woman said,“Two dollars,” and tried to pay. Unsurpris- ingly,the boy went home and told his father.
The father said,“Now go to the museum. If someone asks the price,hold up two fin- gers.”
The boy went to the museum. A man in a suit asked how much the stone was. The boy held up two fingers. The man said,“Two hundred dollars,” and offered to pay.
Shocked,the boy ran home and told his father.
The father then said,“Go to the stone market.”
The boy went to the stone market and showed the stone to an old man. The old man got excited and asked how much it was. The boy held up two fingers. The old man said,“Twenty thousand dollars,” and wanted to buy it.
Happily,the boy hurried home and told his father.
The father smiled and said,“The old man knew the true value of the stone. Your life is the same. You can be a two-dollar rock or a twenty-thousand-dollar rock. You decide your own worth. Remember,some people will see your true value,and some will not.”
