AN EYE OPENER STORY
One day a Son goes to his Father and says, Father what is the value of my Life?
And the Father gives him a stone and says; Son, If you want to know the value of your Life take this stone and go to the market and if anyone asks the price don't say a word and raise up two fingers.
So the Boy does as his Father says and goes to the market.
He wanders around and suddenly an old woman approaches him and says.
How much is this stone?
The Boy doesn't say a word just raises up two fingers and the old woman says: Two dollars? I'll take it!
The Boy is surprised and runs back to his Father and says Father there was an old woman at the market who wanted to give me two dollars for the stone the Father says: Son; the next place I want you to go is the museum and if anyone asks the price, don't say a word and raise up two fingers.
So the Son takes the stone and goes to the museum after about twenty minutes there is a middle aged Man who approach the Boy; He says ; Sir, How much is the stonr? The Boy doesn't say a word and raise up two fingers and the man says 200 dollars? I'll take it!
The Boy is surprised and runs home to his Father.
Father! Father! A man in the Museum wanted to buy the stone for 200 dollars okay Son the last place I want you to take the stone is a precious stone store walk inside with the stone and if anyone asks the price don't say a word just raise up two fingers.
So the Son runs off to the precious stone store.
After finding it, He walks inside and there is an old man at the counter and as the old Man sees the stone he jumps up and screams.
Oh my God you have the stone I have been looking for my whole life! What do you want for it, how much is it?
The Boy doesn't say a word and raises up two fingers and then the man says 200,000 dollars?
I'll take it! The Boy can't believe it, He jumps up and runs to his Father and said, Father! Father!
The old man in the precious stone store wanted to give me 200,000 dollars for the stone.
And his Father said:
You see Son, do you understand now the value of your Life?
Life is all about where you place yourself you can decide if you want to be a two-dollar stone or a 200,000 dollars stone.
There are some people who love you and for whom you are everything and some people will just use you as a commodity and for them you will be worth nothing.
So it is up to you my Son to decide the value of your Life.
