Before he died, a father said to his son; “Here is a watch that your grandfather gave to me. It is almost 200 years old. Go to the jewelry store downtown and tell them that I want to sell it, and see how much they offer you." The son went to the jewelry story, came back to his father, and said; "They offered $150.00 because it's so old."
The father said; “OK! Now Go to the pawn shop." The son went to the pawn shop, came back to his father, and said; "The pawn shop offered $10.00 because it looks so worn."
The father then said to his son "Go to the museum and show them the watch". The son went to the museum, came back, and said to his father; “The curator offered $500,000.00 for this very rare piece to be included in their precious antique collections."
The father said; “I wanted to let you know that values depend on many factors. Don't find yourself in the wrong place and get angry when you are not valued. Those that know your value are those who appreciate you! Don't stay in a place where nobody sees your value." From the Internet
