A short story about the philosophy of life

Life is like jade

Once upon a time, a wise man had many students, and one of them asked him for advice: "Teacher, Can you tell me the value of my life?" The teacher took out a stone and said, "You do something for me first, and then I will tell you the value of life. You can take this stone to the market and sell it to others. No matter how much money you pay, you can't sell it."

The student went to the market to sell the stone, and someone was willing to pay 2 yuan for the stone. As soon as this person finished bidding, some more people came. Everyone said that this stone was really bright, and they all started to raise the price, until the price of the stone was raised to 10 yuan. The student happily went back to the teacher and said, "Teacher, this stone of yours can actually be sold for 10 yuan!" The teacher said, "If you take this stone to the gold market and sell it, you can't sell it no matter how much others pay. "

When the students arrived at the gold market, an old man saw the quality of the stone and said that there must be a treasure inside. Everyone began to compete for this stone, and the price reached 10,000 yuan. The student was a little tempted, and ran back to the teacher happily and said: "This stone of yours can be sold for 10,000 yuan, it is really unexpected!" The teacher smiled and said: "You take this stone to the jewelry market and sell it. You can’t sell it no matter how much others offer.”

The student took the stone to the jewelry market. As soon as he started selling it, someone offered it for 100,000 yuan. In the blink of an eye, the price of the stone has risen to 300,000 yuan. The student resisted the great temptation and went back, and said to the teacher: "I didn't expect you to have such a treasure! My task is completed, it's time for you to tell me the value of this stone." The teacher said to the student: " This stone is really a priceless treasure. There is precious jade in it, but if you don’t know the goods, it is worth 10 yuan at most

Philosophy of life: In fact, everyone is a piece of jade, we must use jewelry A businessman looks at himself as he looks at jade. When someone polishes himself, he becomes jade. The better he polishes himself, the higher his value. Some people guard their jade and never polish it, and they become worthless. This case inspires us to think about the meaning of life value, that is, what is the key to realizing the value of life?
