Once upon a time, there was a small boy named Robby who lived in a small town on the outskirts of the city. He was a bright, cheerful child who made friends easily, always had a smile on his face, and was generally well-liked among his peers.

However, there was always something about Robby that made him feel inadequate. Despite all of his outgoing qualities, he felt like he was lacking in something. He couldn’t quite put his finger on what it was, but it constantly gnawed at him.

Robby’s parents had always been supportive of him, but they could sense his growing sense of inadequacy. One day, they decided to take him to visit a family friend, a wise old man. After talking with Robby, the old man offered his advice.

“You are not inadequate, Robby. You just have difficulty seeing the value in yourself. We all have times when we feel like we can’t do something and that can make us feel frustrated. But instead of dwelling on the negative, think of all of the things that you can do and all of the things that make you special.”

Robby nodded, understanding what the elderly gentleman was trying to tell him. With this new perspective, Robby started to focus on the positive rather than the negative. He worked harder in school, believing in himself and his abilities. He also made a conscious effort to be kinder and more helpful to others.

In the end, Robby realized that he was special and had a great deal to offer the world. He was no longer the same small, inadequate boy that he had been before. With his newfound confidence, he was able to reach heights that he had never dared to dream of before.

The moral of this story is that we should all strive to find the value in ourselves and recognize our worth. Life can be challenging, but with a positive outlook and faith in ourselves, we can achieve anything.
