Know your worth

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 paid 5 dollars because it's old”.

He said to him: “go to the coffee shop”. He went and then came back, and said: “He paid $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 worth!

The farmer was both happy and surprised and so he asked the boy how he succeeded where the rest had failed. The boy replied," I did nothing but sit

Our Happiness lies in the Happiness of other people

When I was in school, Our principal sometimes used to conduct some motivational seminars from different motivators. Those are my favorite days because I learnt a lot and I still remember their seminars. I would like to share one of my favorite activities. We are almost 100 students. Our motivator was giving seminar and Suddenly he stopped and decided to do a group activity. He started giving us a balloon each and asked to write our names on the balloon we got with a marker pen.

We all rushed colliding and pushing each other into that room and started finding our name. At the end of 5 minutes no one could find their own balloon. All of us were with empty hands. Then he asked us to pick a random balloon each and give it to the person whose name was written on it. Within few minutes everyone has our own balloon. Then he said, "Exactly this is happening in
