Stone Value at Different Places!!

One day son went to his father and asked, "Father, what is the value of life?"

Father smiled and said, "If you really want to understand the value of your life, then you have to do as I say.."

Son agreed.

Father bought a stone and gave it to his son and said, "Son, take this stone to market at the roadside and then sit at some place. If someone asks its price, just put up your two fingers. Remember you should bring it back home."

Son saw that stone and thought why would anyone buy such a simple stone? Still, he went to the marketplace as his father said and had been sitting there for some time when an old woman came up to him and asked, "What is the cost of this stone?"

Boy didn't say anything, just raised his two fingers as his father said.

Seeing that, the woman said, "Ok. I am ready to buy this stone for 200rs."

Boy didn't sell that stone as instructed by his father and came back. He happily told his father that lady was ready to buy it for 200rs.

Now, his father said, "This time you go to a museum. There too if someone asks you the price of this stone, then like before, raise two fingers."

The boy went to the museum with stones. The people saw that stone and asked, "What is its cost?"

Boy didn't say anything again and just put up two fingers.

"Ok. 20 thousand. I will buy it.", replied the man.

The boy got surprised to know that stone could be worth this much. He refused to sell that stone again and came back home. Told his father everything.

Now, this father said, "Now you take this stone to a precious stone shop, and there too if someone asks you its price just raise two fingers."

The boy went to the stone and seeing the stone shopkeeper immediately asked," How do you have this stone? It's so rare. I want to buy this stone. Tell me, at what price will you sell it?"

The boy raised his two fingers without saying anything.

The man happily replied, "Sure. I will buy it for 2 lakhs."

Boy was again surprised. He again didn't sell the stone and came back home.

After reaching home, he told his father, "Father, someone is ready to give 2 lakhs for this stone, some for 200rs only while other was ready to give 20 thousand. How is there so much difference?"

Father explained, "Son, you asked me to tell you the value of your life. This is your answer.

Put your life in place of this stone and then estimate the value of your life. Just like the price of this stone was different at different places. The same is the case with life.

Flash: Not everything is as it first appears. The grass is always greener on the other side - until you get there and see it's AstroTurf. So Be patient, pay attention, recognize, and discover the value of things and people around you. Everyone has a purpose in life and a unique talent to give to others.

Moral: The value of your life depends on where you place yourself. And only the Right person will know your Right Worth.

"The world is your oyster. It's up to you to find the pearls and get valued!!"
