00:00One day, a son asked his father,
00:03Father, what is my life worth?
00:05His father gave him a stone and said,
00:08My son, if you want to know the value of your life, take this stone and go to the market.
00:15If someone asks you for the price, stay quiet and hold up two fingers.
00:20The boy followed his father's instructions and went to the market.
00:24After some time, an old woman approached him and asked,
00:27How much is this stone worth?
00:30The boy remained silent and raised two fingers.
00:34The woman said,
00:35Two dollars, and tried to pay.
00:38Startled, the boy ran to his father and shared the incident,
00:42expressing that an old woman in the market offered two dollars for the stone.
00:47The father replied,
00:49Son, now I want you to go to the museum.
00:52If someone asks for the price, stay quiet and hold up two fingers.
00:57The son took the stone to the museum.
01:00After about 20 minutes, a middle-aged man in a suit and tie approached the boy and asked,
01:06Sir, how much is this stone worth?
01:10Once again, the boy remained silent and held up two fingers.
01:13Fearful, the boy rushed home to his father, informing him that the man at the museum wanted to buy the stone for two hundred dollars.
01:27The father then instructed his son to go to a stone market.
01:31Excitedly, the son ran to the market, found a stone shop, and walked in.
01:37An old man stood behind the counter.
01:41When he saw the stone, he jumped up and exclaimed,
01:44My God, I have been looking for this stone all my life.
01:48What do you want for it?
01:49How much does it cost?
01:51The boy wordlessly held up two fingers.
01:54The old man offered $20,000 for the stone, leaving the boy in disbelief.
02:01He hurriedly returned to his father, exclaiming,
02:04Dad, the old man offered me $20,000 for the stone.
02:08With a smile, the father replied,
02:11Look, son, someone who knows the value of a stone has offered you the highest amount because he recognizes its true worth.
02:20The same applies to your life.
02:22You determine its value.
02:24You can choose to be a $2 rock or a $20,000 rock.
02:29You hold the power to decide the worth of your own life.
02:32Remember, there are loved ones for whom you mean everything,
02:36and there are others who may treat you as a commodity, not realizing your true value.
02:42And that's the powerful story of the stone's value and the lesson it teaches about the worth of our lives.
02:49Remember, it is up to us to determine our own value and surround ourselves with those who recognize and appreciate it.
02:58Don't let others define your worth.
03:01Take charge and embrace the true potential within you.
