JRD Tata had a friend who used to say that he misplaced and loses his pen very often. He will use only very cheap pens , so that he need not worry about losing them. He was worried about carelessness habit.
JRD suggested him to buy the costliest pen he could afford and see what happens.
He did that and purchased a 22 carat gold cross pen. After nearly six months JRD met him and asked him, if he continues to misplace his pen ?
His friend said that he is very careful about his costly pen, and he is surprised how he has changed !
JRD explained him that the value of the pen made the difference , and there was nothing wrong with him as a person !
This is what happens in our life. We are careful with things which we value most.
- If we value our health,
we will be careful about
what and how we eat. - If we value our friends,
we will treat them with
respect. - If we value money,
we will be careful while
spending. - If we value our time,
we will not waste it. - If we value relationship,
we will not break it.
Everything depends on our perception of value.
