How Much Are You Worth? Depends on Who You Ask!
A father told his daughter, "Congrats on your graduation. I bought you a car a while back. I want you to have it now."
Before I give it to you, take it to a car dealer in the city and try to sell it. See how much they offer.”
The girl came back to her father and said:
"They offered me $10,000 dollars because it looks very old"
Father said: "Ok, now take it to the pawn shop".
The girl returned to her father and said:
"The pawn shop offered $1,000 dollars because it's a very old car and a lot of work done".
The father told her to join a passionate car club with experts and show them the car. The girl drove to the passionate car club. She returned to her father after a few hours and told him,
“Some people in the club offered me $100,000 dollars because it's a rare car that's in good condition.”
Then the father said,
"I wanted to let you know that you are not worth anything if you are not in the right place. If you are not appreciated, do not be angry, that means you are in the wrong place. "Don't stay in a place where no one sees your value ."
BTW: The car pictured is a Lamborghini Countach
This story reminds me of a couple of short saying...
"An Indy Race Car is useless on city streets, while a regular race car is useless in an Indy Car race. Make sure you run in the right race if you want to succeed."
Or maybe, conversely,
"A beautiful rose is an unwanted weed in a cornfield just as cornstalks are ugly weeds in a rose garden. Make sure you put down roots in the right place".

Social media is popular with children and teenagers. It's a great way to stay connected with friends and family, but it can also be a dangerous place. Predators can use social media to contact and groom potential victims, and children can be exposed to inappropriate content. So, how can we keep our children safe on social media?At Safesocialonline.com children age 6 - 17 must be enrolled by a parent. No other adults can see a child's account, and children cannot see other adult accounts. This way we eliminate the threat of predatory users. If a child posts something inappropriate the parent is notified so a conversation can take place to guide the child on appropriate language and content.
How did you observe the 20th anniversary of 9/11? Was this event overshadowed by results of US withdrawal from Afghanistan? We held the Taliban off for 20 years, but really only stopped them for 1 week. It was a sad day when terrorists flew planes into buildings, and a sad day when the Taliban took back over. I will always remember the first responders who paid the ultimate price with their lives or their health!
When you “like” something on Facebook, your interests are sold to online advertisers so they know which ads to show you. Gmail reads your emails to choose ads to show you. Google Maps provides your location to nearby advertisers.Big Data companies scour your online behavior and sell this information. Did you search for information about a new prescription? Advertisers now know about your medical conditions. Did you research a mental health issue? Advertisers now know about your family problems. Did you search for the best price on disposable diapers? Big Data now knows you have a new baby, and where you live. This has to stop. That is why Safe Social Online was created. Your activi
"Real leaders are happy to zig while others zag. They understand that in an era of hyper-competition and non-stop disruption, the only way to stand out from the crowd is to stand for something special. They don't follow where the path may lead, they go instead where there is no path and leave a trail". "Bill Taylor, and Ralph Waldo Emerson."
Wisdom benefits those who see the sun therefore, everyday is a good day when you can talk about it. No matter if you feel it is Good, or Bad. To be able to talk about it means it is a good day. Just think about those that have had problems and can't ever talk to you about them again!
