June 29, 2010admin No Comments »Long times ago, in Egypt live a famous mystical person name Zun-Nun. A young man came to visit him and asked “Teacher, I do not understand why people like you dress in such a way and very simple, isnt in this era was necessary to dress neatly, not only for performance but also for other reasons?.
The mystycal only smile and take his ring from one of his fingers, and said “Young friend, I will answer your question, but first do one thing for me, take this ring and go to the the market accross this street,and sell it for one chip of gold ?”
Looking at Zun-Nun’s dirty ring, the young man become doubtful, “One chip of gold? I am not sure this ring could be sold at that price.”
“Try first, young man, who knows you can do it .” The Young man went to the market quickly. He offered the ring to the textile, vegetable, meat, fish traders, and the others. The fact was that nobody was willing to pay a chip of Gold. He went back to Zun-Nun residence and reported “Teacher, nobody is brave to offer more than one chip of silver.”
With a wise smile of Zun-Nun, he said “Now go to the Gold Shop at the back of this street, show this to the owner or to the gold trader. Dont give your price just listen how much he will pay for this ring.”
The Young man went to the shop mentioned and return with a different expression on his face. He then reported “Teacher, the traders in the market really dont know the value of this ring, the gold traders offered for this ring was one thousand gold chips.The value of this ring was one thousand times from what the traders in the market offer.
Zun nun just smiled subtly spoke softly, “That was the answer of your questions my friend, “Someone cannot be valued only from his dress ” The traders in the market” give value like that.
