Value

Value

A father said to his daughter “You have graduated from university, here is a car I bought many years ago. It is a bit older now. But before I give it to you, take it to a second hand car dealer and tell them I want to sell it and see how much they offer you for it.

Old and dirty Nissan Skyline R34

The daughter went to the second hand car dealer, returned to her father and said, “They offered me £1,000 because they said it looks pretty worn out.”

The father said, now “Take it to the scrap yard. ”The daughter went to the local scrap yard, returned to her father and said, ”The scrappy offered £100 because it is an old car.”


The father asked his daughter to go to a car club now in the city centre and show them the car. The daughter then took the car to the club, returned and told her father, ”Some people in the club offered £100,000 for it because it’s a Nissan Skyline R34, it's an iconic car and sought by many collectors”

Now the father said this to his daughter, “The right place values you the right way,” If you are not valued, do not be angry, it means you are in the wrong place. Those who know your value are those who appreciate you.

Never stay in a place where no one sees your value. Never!
