A father said to his daughter, “You have graduated with honors. Here is a Jeep I bought many years ago.”
“It is pretty old now. But before I give it to you, take it to the used car lot downtown and tell them I want to sell it and see how much they offer you for it.”
“The daughter went to the used car lot, returned to her father and said, “They offered me $1,000 because they said it looks pretty worn out.”
The father said, now “Take it to the pawn shop.”
The daughter went to the pawn shop, returned to her father and said,”The pawn shop offered only $100 because it is an old Jeep.”
The father asked his daughter to go to a Jeep club now and show them the Jeep.
The daughter then took the Jeep to the club, returned and told her father, “Some people in the club offered $100,000 for it because it’s an iconic Jeep and sought by many collectors.”
Now the father said this to his daughter, “The right place values you the right way.”
“If you are not valued, do not be angry. It means you are in the wrong place. Those who know your value are those who appreciate you. Never stay in a place where no one sees your value.”

Good read Jack. I recently gifted my granddaughter my 2008 Honda CRV for her 16th birthday. She thought I gave her a Mercedes. Giving the right things to the right people matter more than we imagine.

Yes, I read about your awesome gift. It means more because it came from you.

That’s an eye-opener about being valued, and not staying where you aren’t.
