A young man said to the wise man, "Teacher, I don't think I can do anything well." Nobody takes me seriously. 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, then said.
So the wise man sat down, took a ring from his finger, handed it to the young man, and said, "Go to the market and sell this ring, because I need money to pay my debts." The more money you exchange, the better. In any case, it cannot be less than 1 gold coin. "
The young man went to the market, but after hearing the young man say that the lowest price of the ring should not be lower than 1 gold coin, some people in the market laughed. Some people 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 wanted to pay 1 gold coins. The young man came back depressed. He wished he had 1 gold coins, 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 a jewelry store again, no one knows its value better than a 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 70 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 really judge your value. " How can you expect someone in your life to find your true value? The wise man put the ring back on his finger.
After we enter the life market, we hope that inexperienced people will affirm our value. That true value is often easily destroyed and buried.
A little boy went to his backyard with a cap, bat and baseball.
"I am the greatest batter in the world," he said confidently. 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 he still failed.
He looked 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'm a first-class pitcher!" "
