One day
a young man asked his Grandfather:
"Grandpa how could you live before ...
- Without technologie
- Without internet
- Without computer
- Without drones
- Without bitcoin
- Without mobile phones
- Without Facebook
Grandfather replied:
"Just like your generation live today …
- Without humanity
- Without dignity
- Without compession
- Shameless
- Without personality
- Without character
- Without love
- Without modesty
We, today that you all call us «old»
have been blessed, our life is the test.
When cycling we never used a helmet.
After school, we did our homework alone
and always went to play in the meadows until sunset.
We played with friends, not with friend on the internet.
If ever we were thirsty,
we drank water from the fountain, not from bottled water.
We never got sick using the same glass with our friends.
We never got fat eating bread and pasta every day.
Nothing happened to our feet even though we walked barefoot.
We created our toys with our own hands and played with them.
Our parents were not rich, but they gave us so much love,
not video games to keep us good.
We never had cell phones, DVD’s, Play Stations, Xbox,
video games, personal computers, internet …
but we had real friends.
We visited the house of our friend without being invited
and enjoyed with them red and oil for a snack.
The adult family members lived nearby to enjoy
the time amongst them.
We may have had black and white photos,
but we find very colorful memories in those photos.
We are a unique and more comprehensive generation
who listened to their parents …
and also the first that had to listen to their children.
We are limited edition!

One day
a young boy asks his father
what is the value of his life.
Instead of answering a father told his son to take this rock and go sell it at a market.
If anybody ask the price raise two fingers and don't say anything.
The boy then went to the market and a woman ask
“how much is this rock, I want to put it in my garden?”
The boy didn't say anything and raised up two fingers and the woman said $2? I'll take it!
And the boy went home and told his father a woman wants to buy this rock for $2.
The father them said so I don't want you to take this rock to a museum if anybody wants to buy it don't say a word and just put up two fingers.
The boy then went to the museum and a man wanted to buy the rock.
The boy didn't say a word and just put up two fingers and the man said $200? I'll take it!
The boy was shocked and went running home and told his father
a man wants to buy this rock for $200!
His father then said, son, the last place I want you to take this rock is to a precious stone store. Show it to the owner and don't say a word and if he ask the price just put up two fingers.
The son then went to a precious stone store. He showed the rock to the owner.
Where did you find this Stone! It is one of the most rarest stones in the world! I must have it!
How much would you sell it for?
The boy put up two fingers and the man said I'll take it for $200,000!
The boy not knowing what to say, ran at home to his father.
Father there's a man that wants to buy the stone for $200,000!
His farther than said “son do you know the value of your life now?”
You see… it doesn't matter where you come from, where you're born,
the color of your skin, or how much money you were born into.
It matters where you decide to place yourself,
the people you surround yourself with and how you choose to carry yourself.
Your may have lived your whole life thinking that you were a $2 stone.
Your may have lived your whole life surrouned by people that saw your worth for only $2.
But everybody has a diamond inside them.
And we can choose to surround ourself with people
that see our value and see the diamond inside of us.
We can choose to put ourself in a market or put ourself in a precious stone store.
And you can also choose to see the value in other people.
You can help other people see the diamond inside of them.
Choose the people you surround yourself wisely.
That can make all the difference in your life.
