Once a little boy asked his father "what is the value of my life ".The father looked at him and gave him a piece of stone , he asked him to go to the nearest market and stand in a corner and said "If anyone asks you the price, show your two fingers and keep shut and don't say anything ". The boy went to the market and stood there ,after sometime he saw a lady came to him and asked "what is the price ".The boy said nothing , He showed his two fingers ,the lady said 2 Dollars ,I will take it , The boy went to his father and said a lady was ready to purchase it at 2 dollars ,than the father looked at him and said go to store where they sell stones and raise your two fingers and say nothing. The boy went to the store ,over there the shopkeeper asks the boy the price of the stone ,the boy said nothing and showed two fingers the man said 200 Dollars, "I will take it". the boy goes home and says his father,Now his father said "go to a museum and stand there , if any one asks the price show two fingers ",when he went there a man approached him and took the stone and examined it and asked "how much", the boy said nothing he showed two fingers again the man said 20,000 Dollars, the man says "I will take it", the boy was very happy and ran to his father and said what had happened ,He said a man was ready to buy it for 20,000 Dollars now the father smiled at him and said now you should understand ,you should always stay where the people around you know the real value of you. So, the value of your life is up to you to determine ,Either to make it 2 Dollars or 20,000 Dollars, No one can tell you, your value .You need to choose to stay around the people who cares and loves you and knows your value and not with the people who don't know your value and takes you for granted
