FAITH AND HOPE

WHATS IT WORTH?
IF I HAD $5 FOR EVERY TIME I'VE HEARD THAT, I WOULD HAVE A PILE OF PAPER



AND, UNLESS ONE HAS A FONDNESS FOR CRUMPLED  PAPER, I WOULD HAVE VIRTUALLY NOTHING.
IT'S ONLY BECAUSE WE HAVE FAITH THAT SOMEONE WILL GIVE US
"SOMETHING (goods and services) FOR NOTHING (money)".
IT IS THIS FAITH THAT ALLOWS US TO BUY AND SELL.

BUT, WHAT IS IT THAT WE BUY  AND SELL?
IF A PERSON HAS SOMETHING THAT THEY WANT OT SELL  AND KNOWS OF NO ONE THAT HAS INTEREST IN IT, IT'S WORTHLESS.





WHATEVER IT IS, IT IS WORTHLESS WITHOUT A BUYER.
THE REAL QUESTION IS, WHAT IS IT WORTH TO YOU?
IF THIS IS ONLY WORTH $10 TO MY NEIGHBOR DOES THAT MEAN IT IS ONLY WORTH $10 TO YOU OR ME?
THE VALUE OF ANYTHING VARIES FROM ONE PERSON TO ANOTHER.
MY HOPE IS THAT WHEN I BUY SOMETHING FOR RESALE I CAN FIND SOMEONE THAT VALUES IT MORE THAN THE PERSON I BOUGHT IT FROM.
I ALSO HOPE THAT SOMEONE WILL VALUE IT MORE THAN I DO.
IF THEY FIND THE WORTH TO ONLY BE THE SAME AS I PERCEIVE IT TO BE, THEN
WHY WOULD I SELL IT?
WHY WOULD THEY BUY IT?
ONE PERSON HAS TO VALUE IT MORE THAN THE OTHER PERSON.

WHAT'S  IT WORTH AND TO WHO?


THE VALUE OF AN ITEM VARIES FROM PERSON TO PERSON DEPENDING ON THEIR PERCEPTION.



CASH IS WORTHLESS OTHER THAN FOR BUYING SOMETHING THAT YOU VALUE.
VALUE IS BASED ON ONES BELIEF THAT AN ARTICLE OR SERVICE IS WORTH MORE THAN THEIR CRUMPLED PAPER.

CHERISH WHAT YOU BUY.
DON'T JUST BUY BECAUSE IT WAS A "GOOD DEAL"
