Wise Man

A young man said to the wise man, "Teacher, I don't think I can do anything well. No one values me, what should I do? "

The wise man said, "Son, I sympathize with your experience, but I can't help you, because I have to deal with my own problems first." The wise man paused for a moment and said, "If you are willing to help me, I can solve the problem quickly, and then maybe I can help you."

"all right." The young man hesitated for a moment and then said.

So the wise man sat down, took off a ring from his finger and gave it to the young man, saying, "Go to the market and sell this ring, because I need money to pay my debts. The more money you get back, the better. In any case, it can't be less than one gold coin. "

The young man went to the market, but after hearing the young man say that the lowest price of a ring should not be less than one gold coin, some people in the market laughed, others said that the young man was out of his mind, and only a kind old lady told the young man that his asking price was too high. Young people walked through the market and peddled rings everywhere, but no one would pay a gold coin. The young man came back dejectedly. He wished he had a gold coin, so that he could give the money to the wise man to help him pay his debts, and the wise man could give him advice and help.

The young man said, "Sorry, teacher, I can't meet your requirements. Maybe I can get two or three silver coins, but I don't think that should be the real value of this ring. "

"Young friend, you are absolutely right." The wise man smiled and said, "If you go to the jewelry store again, no one knows its value better than the jeweler. You tell the jeweler that I want to sell the ring and ask him how much he can pay, but don't really sell the ring. You can bring it back after asking the price. "

The jeweler looked at the ring carefully and said, "Tell your teacher that if he wants to sell the ring, I can give him 58 gold coins at most."

"58 gold coins!" The young man exclaimed. "Yes." The jeweler said, "If you are not in a hurry, I can pay 7 gold coins, but if you are in a hurry to get rid of it ..."

The young man ran back excitedly and told the wise man what had happened. The wise man said, "you are like this ring, precious and unique. Only experts can truly judge your value." How can you expect anyone in life to find your true value? " The wise man put the ring back on his finger.

after we enter the market of life, we hope that inexperienced people will affirm our value. That real value is often easy to be destroyed and buried.

a little boy went to his backyard armed with a ball cap and a bat and baseball.

"I am the greatest batter in the world," he was confident. Throw the ball into the air, swing hard, but miss.

Undaunted, he threw it into the air again and shouted, "I am the best batter."

he swung again, but it failed again.

He stared blankly for a long time and carefully examined the bat and baseball.

He stood up and tried again. This time he still told himself, "I am the best batter."

however, his third attempt failed.

"wow!" He jumped up suddenly. "I am a first-rate pitcher!" "
