Jack sat drinking coffee and talking with some of his old frineds.One of the things they discussed was the difference betweem one person's sense of values and another's.After some minutes,one of Jack's frineds said to him,"Well,Jack,you are a wise man,but you have said nothing on this subject yet.What do you consider to be the most valuable thing in the world?”
Jack answered without hesitation,"I consider advice the most valuable thing in the world."
His frineds thought about this for a minutes,and then one of then asked him,"And what do you consider the most worthless thing in the world?"
Again Jack replied without hesitating for a moment,"I consider advice the most worthless thing in the world."
"Really!"said one of his friends."You must be joking,Jack!A minutes ago you said that advice is the most valuable thing in the world,and now you say that it is the most worthless thing in the world!How can it be both the most worthless?"
"Well,"answered Jack,"if you think about the matter carefully,you will see that I am not joking,and that I am quite right.When you give somebody good advice,and he takes it,advice is the most valuable thing in the world.But when you give a person advice and he does not take it,it is the most worthless thing in the world.
