YOUR VALUE CHANGES AS YOUR MENTALITY CHANGES

YOUR VALUE CHANGES AS YOUR MENTALITY CHANGES
 An auction once took a new dimension sometime ago due to a strange episode that happened. Many people gathered in a big hall for a special auction, when the auctioneer picked up a dirty, rickety looking violin as the first item to be auctioned. He  started his offer with $100 but instead of bidding with higher prices, people started pricing it down.$80 shouted someone then$60 shouted another and then $20 e.t.c.
   The Drama continued until an elderly man in the crowd, stood up and walked towards the stage where the violin was at the $2o level . He collected the violin from the auctioneer dusted it, adjusted it and tuned again. Few minutes later ,he began to play on the violin as the sound filled the hall. Everybody was amazed at the potential of the violin.
    When he was through, he dropped the violin and went back to sit without saying a word. Now when the auctioneer picked up the violin, he started afresh from $1000.That same day, the violin ended being sold for $10,000. What made the difference between being sold for nothing and being sold for $10,000?.What made the difference was the touch and work of the elderly man to change things and reveal its potential for all to see.
  Many of us are like the violin with mentalities that cheapen us and keeps us undervalued and devalued, but when we allow  a mentality shift, our value will change.
