I recently read an inspiring story that shows a simple way of knowing your life worth, and I would like to share this story with you . . . /* Begin Inspiring Story . . . One day, a boy approached his father and asked, “What is my life worth?”​ The father handed his son a small stone and replied, “Take this stone to the market. If anyone asks the price, raise two fingers and don’t say anything.”​ The boy did as he was told and went to the market. An old woman approached him and asked, “How much is that rock? I want it for my garden.”​ The boy held up two fingers, to which the woman replied, “$2? I’ll take it.”​ Before she could complete the deal, the boy turned and ran home to tell his father what had happened. ​ His father nodded and said, “Ok, now take the stone to the museum. If anyone asks the price, raise two fingers and don’t say anything.”​ The boy did as he was told and went to the museum. A man in a suit approached him and asked, “How much is that stone? I want it for my home.”​ The boy held up two fingers, to which the man replied, “$200? I’ll take it.”​ Before he could complete the deal, the boy turned and ran home to tell his father what had happened.​ His father nodded and said, “Ok, now take the stone to the precious gem store. If the owner asks the price, raise two fingers and don’t say anything.”​ The boy did as he was told and went to the stone store. The owner of the store approached him and asked, “Where did you find that rare stone? I have been looking for it my entire life. How much will you sell it for?”​ The boy held up two fingers, to which the man replied, “$20,000? I’ll take it.”​
