Storytelling Matters

in money •  7 years ago  (edited)

I was struggling to find a gift for my Chinese friend's two young boys. He has been extremely good to me and wanted to give a gift that had some meaning to it.

While listening to "Invest Like the Best", one of my favorite podcasts, the guest made an interesting comment - "A lot of the most successful investors in the world started with stamp, card, or coin collections at a young age."

So I had my mother bring over below from the US, gave him below, shared the lesson, and will continue to give his sons different sets in the future.

My point here:

Actual gift = ~$10

Actual gift + a bit of my culture/story/knowledge/habit = >$10 and a smile on his face

Storytelling is the most important skill you can have and cultivate in others.
