A father told his daughter, “Congrats on your graduation. I bought you a car a while back. I want you to have it now. Before I give it to you, take it to a car dealer in the city and offer to sell it, but don't. See how much they offer.”
The girl came back to her father and said: “They offered me $10,000 dollars because it looks very old and said no-one would want it.”
The father said: “Ok, now take it to the pawn shop.”
The girl returned to her father and said: “The pawn shop offered $1,000 dollars because it's a very old car and needs a lot of work to be done.”
The father told her to join a passionate car club with experts and to show them the car.
The girl drove to the passionate car club.
She returned to her father after and excitedly told him, “Some people in the club offered me $100k because its a rare and special car that's in good condition with unique attributes.”
Then the father said, “I wanted to let you know that you are not worth anything if you are not in the right place. If you are not appreciated, do not be angry, that means you are in the wrong place. Don't stay in a place where no one sees your value.”
The moral of the story : Know your worth and know where you are valued. A diamond doesn't shine on the bottom of a cave.
