A father said to his son, "You graduated with honors. Here is a Volkswagen Beetle that I bought many years ago... It is over 50 years old, but before I give it to you, take it to a dealership downtown and ask how much they are offering you."
The son went to the dealership, came back to his father and said, "They offered me 2,000 Pesos because it looks very used." The father said, "Take it to a pawn shop."
The son went to the pawn shop, came back and said, "They only offered me 10,000 Pesos because they say it is too old."
Finally, the father asked his son to take the car to a classic car club and show it there. The son took the car to the club, came back and said, "Some people at the club offered me 1 to 2 million because it is a very rare car and sought after among the members."
The father said to his son, "I wanted you to understand that the right place appreciates you in the right way. If they don't value you, don't be angry, it just means you're in the wrong place. Those who know your value are the ones who truly appreciate you. Never stay in a place where they don't recognize your value!"
