One day a young boy asked his grandfather, what was the value of his life?
Instead of answering.... the grandfather told him to take his rock and go sell it at the market. "If anybody ask the price, raise two fingers and don't say anything."
The boy went straight to the market and a woman asked him... "How much is this rock? I want to put it in my garden." The boy didn't say anything and raised up two fingers. "Two dollars? I'll take it." The woman said.
The boy run all the way home and told his grandfather.... The grandfather then said to him. "Now i want you to take this rock to museum. If anybody wants to buy it don't say a word, Just hold up two fingers."

The boy then went to the museum and a man wanted to buy the rock. The boy didn't say a word and put up two fingers.
The man said to him, "$200? I'll take it." Shocked, the boy run all the way home again. But all his grandfather said to him was.... The last place i want you to take this rock is to a precious stone Store. "Show it to the owner and don't say a word, If he ask the price just put up two fingers."
The boy went to the precious stone store and showed the rock to the owner. "Where did you find this stone. It is one of the rarest stones in the world. I must have it! How much would you like for it?"
The boy put two fingers as instructed and the man said to him, "I'll take it for $200,000." The boy, knowing what to say, run home to his grandpa. "Grandpa there's a man who want's to buy the stone for $200,000!" His grandfather then said to him....
"Sweetheart do you now know the value of your life? You see it doesn't matter where you come from.. and how much money you were born into. It matters where you decide to place yourself, and the people you surround yourself with. You may have lived your whole life surrounded by people who saw you as $2 stone.
But everybody has a diamond inside of them."

"We can choose to put ourselves in a marker or we can stand strong and true in knowledge that we are priceless. You are priceless... and you deserve to know it."
