#36 自身价值 | Know Your Value

A father before he died said to his son: “this is a watch your grandfather gave and this is more than 200 years old, but before I give it to you, go to the watch shop on the first street, and tell him I want to sell it, and see how much it is”.

He went and then came back to his father, and said, "the watchmaker will pay 5 dollars because it's old”. 

He said to him : “go to the coffee shop”. He went and then came back, and said: “He will buy it for $5 father”.  

“Go to the museum and show that watch”. 

— He went then came back, and said to his father “They offered me a million dollars for this piece”.  

The father said: “I wanted to let you know that the right place values your value in a way right, don't put yourself in the wrong place and get angry if you don't. Who knows your value is who appreciates you, don't stay in a place that doesn't suit you".

Know your value. 🙂

以下是这段故事的 原意中文翻译（简体），保持原文的情绪与启示：

---

一位父亲在临终前对儿子说：
“这是你祖父留给我的手表，已经有 200 多年了。在把它交给你之前，你先去第一条街的钟表店，告诉老板你想卖掉它，看看他愿意给多少钱。”

儿子去了，回来对父亲说：
“钟表匠说因为它太旧了，只愿意出 5 美元。”

父亲又说：
“去咖啡店问问。”
儿子去了，又回来，说：
“他们也只愿意出 5 美元，爸爸。”

父亲接着说：
“去博物馆给他们看看这只表。”
儿子去了，再回来时说：
“他们愿意出 100 万美元买这块表！”

父亲对他说：
“我就是想让你明白：只有在对的地方，你的价值才会被正确地看见。
不要把自己放在不适合的地方，然后因为别人不懂你而生气。
懂得你价值的人，才会真正欣赏你。
不要待在不属于你的位置上。”

认清自己的价值。
