There is a popular tale I would like to share. Once, there was an old man who decided to retire from his business and wanted his son to inherit the business. He gave his son an old gold watch which had not been polished and sent him to the market to ask for the selling price.
The people in the market wanted to buy it for $20. He went back and reported to his father. Then the father sent him to the antique shop. The antique shop keeper wanted to buy it for $200. He went back and reported to his father. Then his father sent him to a museum and when the man at the museum saw the old gold watch, he polished it and was amazed at it and said he would buy it for $2000.
The young man went back to his father to report. His father told him that the moral of the story is to know your worth. You are worth what you think you are worth so you make the best out of this life with all the skills you have. Do not sell yourself too small. Each of us has great value within us.
The following are time and money saving travel tips:-
- Pack for everyday. It will save you time during the trip every morning looking for clothes, what to wear and what to match.
- Decide to have a list of what you want to do each day, have an itinerary to save on time.
