Story 1: A Father’s Gift
A father gave his daughter an old car as a graduation gift but asked her to assess its value at different places.
- Used car lot: Offered $1,000, calling it worn out.
- Pawn shop: Offered $100, deeming it very old.
- Car club: Offered $100,000, recognizing it as a rare Nissan Skyline R34.
The father explained, “The right place values you the right way.” The lesson: Seek environments where you’re appreciated and don’t let others define your worth.
Story 2: A Son’s Care
A son took his elderly, frail father to a restaurant, ignoring judgmental diners as his father ate messily. The son patiently cleaned and cared for him.
As they left, an old man told the son, “You’ve left a lesson for every son and hope for every father.” The story reminds us to honor and care for our loved ones despite others’ opinions.
