Value: Selling The Learning Curve & Personal Development.

Value is quite relative, and this is because we individually have what makes us tick. We cannot come to a 100% agreement that something, a person, a product, or an inanimate object represents value. The only thing that we can generally attach value to is money and this is because its value is proof that's visibly impactful, without making reference or being dependent on the views of people for validation. Asides from money, we humans are sentimental, deep down we're inadvertently selective.

Our views of what is worth can be tainted by things like our emotions, upbringing, economic environment, psychological beliefs, and educational background to some certain extent. In reality, we have a measure for what's supposed to be considered valuable and we often come to an agreement that it is but then, every individual has a personal yardstick to measuring what's valuable even if they might not admit it. In life, we cannot convince people to value us proportionally to the way we'd value ourselves and this is because they cannot see our efforts, our sacrifices, and our growth, even if we tend to show them.

People can quickly deduce the value of another person by looking at how they're dressed, how they talk, and the things they say, while we often deny this, it's an aspect of us we never want to admit. The origin of "dress the way you want to be addressed", is because we often place value on what we immediately perceive or envisage. For example, people are quick to judge others who have failed because their failure is more visible than their efforts and since we understand this, it's still hard to change.

The value would be defined differently till the end of time and this is because of the concept of free will. However, this is saddening no matter how much we try to euphemize it. Sometimes, a person is qualified on paper but in actuality, they're not, on the other hand, another might be less qualified on paper, but the reverse is the case in actuality. Sometimes people measure value with what they can relate to because it's the knowledge that's within their understanding, however, when we don't understand something, it's difficult for us to tell its worth.

It's possible for a person to mistake a diamond for a mere metal and this is because of the inadequacy of knowledge. Knowledge and ignorance are key features in the concept of value and Worth and this is why we often seek knowledge in other to understand what's truly valuable. In this video, I talked about why we can never place proportionality to value even if it seems glaring and visible.
