A father told his daughter, โCongrats on your graduation. I bought you a car a while back. I want you to have it now.โ
But before I give it to you, please take it to a car dealer in the city and sell it. See how much they offer.โ
The girl came back to her father and said: โThey offered me 10,000 dollars because it looks like a classicโ
The father said, โOk, now take it to the pawn shop.โ
The girl returned to her father and said: โThe pawn shop offered 1,000 dollars because itโs a classic car and needs a lot of work doneโ.
The father then told her to join a passionate car club with experts and show them the car.
The girl drove to the passionate car club.
After a few hours, she returned to her father and told him, โSome people in the club offered me $100k because itโs a rare car in good condition.โ
Then the father said, โI wanted to let you know that you are not worth anything if you are not in the right place. If you are not appreciated, do not be angry, that means you are in the wrong place. Donโt stay in a place where no one sees your value .โ
The moral of the story :
Know your worth and know where you are valued. A diamond doesnโt shine on the bottom of a cave.
