A Must Share!
We found this on social media and so chances are, some of you have already read it but it was one of those important things that we HAD TO SHARE!
Before he died, a father said to his son; “Here is a watch that your grandfather gave me. It is almost 200 years old. Before I give it to you, go to the jewelry store downtown. Tell them that I want to sell it, and see how much they offer you.”
The son went to the jewelry story, came back to his father, and said; “They offered $150.00 because it’s so old.”
The father said; “Go to the pawn shop.”
The son went to the pawn shop, came back to his father, and said; “The pawn shop offered $10.00 because it looks so worn.”
The father asked his son to go to the museum and show them the watch.
He went to the museum, came back, and said to his father; “The curator offered $500,000.00 for this very rare piece to be included in their precious antique collections.”
The father said; “I wanted to let you know that the right place values you in the right way. Don’t find yourself in the wrong place and get angry if you are not valued. Those that know your value are those who appreciate you, don’t stay in a place where nobody sees your value.”
Know your worth.
Yes, Friends of Two Chums, always know your worth! And, if you are feeling down and unworthy, ask one of your best chums – they will indeed tell you about your worth!
Take this into the weekend and enjoy!

But did the father sell the old watch or give it to his son? What happened to the watch?
Thank you for this lesson. I actually needed to read this.
We assume the father passed on and left the watch to his son. But, he wanted the son to go to all of those places before he passed away as he wanted to share that really lovely lesson with him.
