from the wall of Lydia Oukhaneva: PARABLE : About OWN VALUES One day a young man came to the Master and said : - I came to you , because I feel so miserable and worthless , that I do not want to live. All around assert that I am a loser , meddler and an idiot. I beg you, Master , help me ! Master , glancing at him , hurriedly replied : - Im sorry, but I m very busy and I can not help you. Ive got to settle one very important thing - and , some thought , he added: - But if you agree to help me in my business , I will gladly help you in yours. - S. .. with pleasure, Master , - he muttered , bitterly noting that it once again overshadow . Master took from his left little finger ring with a beautiful stone. - Take a horse and gallop into the marketplace ! I urgently need to sell the ring to pay his debt . In no case did not agree to a price lower than gold coins! The young man took the ring, and rode away. Arriving at the market square , he began to offer ring traders and those with interest at first looked at his goods. But when they hear about a gold coin , as they immediately lost all interest in the ring . Some openly laughed in his face , while others simply turned away , and only one trader kindly explained to him that a gold coin - its too high a price for such a ring , and that can give him except that a copper coin , well, in a pinch silver . Bypassing the whole market and proposing ring good hundred people , the young man again saddled his horse and returned. Greatly dejected failure , he went to the Master . - Master, I could not fulfill your order - sadly he said. - In the best case I could get for a couple ring silver coins , not gold ! Traders insist that this ring is not worth . - Yes, it would be nice to know the true value of the ring ! But who can do it better than a jeweler ? Jump in to the jeweler so ask him how he would propose the ring . The young man went to a jeweler . He took a long look ring , and finally said : - Pass to the Master, now I can not give him more then 58 -mi gold coins. But if he will give me time , Ill buy the ring for 70, given the urgency of the transaction. - Seventy- gold coins ? - The young man laughed happily thanked jeweler and at full speed rushed back . - Sit down here , - the Master said , after hearing the story of a young man busy . - Know, my son, you are that very ring . Precious and unique ! And you can only estimate by the truth expert . So why do you go through the market , expecting that it will make the first counter ?
