So money is only a representation of value, which is very useful for “trading”. But we also have “satisfaction” (for lack of a better word) as a representation of value. When we do something that pleases us, that “something” has value to us, and its value is the satisfaction we got from it. That “satisfaction” is also something we can trade: help someone (provide value to them) and they will be satisfied (they will value your help).

Very interesting…

An interesting and thought provoking post.

It is all too easy to focus on the balance of our bank account or investment portfolio. It is less easy to ask ourselves how we can better use our skills, talents and abilities to maximize both the value we create and the service which we provide to others.

Yet, I bet when we grow old, we will not look back and judge our degree of satisfactions with what we have achieved by our bank balance. Rather, we will look at things such as the experiences we have had, what we have created and achieved, the relationships we have developed and how we have added value in the lives of others.

Great post on value. We all have to thinking about what kind of value to we bring into our business, our family, our relationship. Every where we go in our life what value do we bring?
Important question!
