Is a value that goes beyond the intrinsic, that you assign yourself and decide, that you create for yourself. Through the added value is that you serve people, contribute to society and create something memorable from your life for generations to follow.
It’s about using what you’ve learned and the talents you have to make an important contribution out there. As you may have noticed, it goes hand in hand with serving humanity. You already have a value of your own, but you can decide to also have a value for society.
The added value is more an attitude than a behavior. Some people find it difficult to study or work, for various reasons; but their attitude is always one of growth, of seeing opportunities to contribute, or educate themselves to do so in the future. And there are others who, having all the opportunities and resources, decide to contribute nothing, stay home without adding value to society, or simply doing additional harm. That is why we speak that it is more of a decision, it is not measured in terms of results but of mental attitude.
It is true that you are born with an intrinsic value, but for your self-concept to be solid, you must have a special passion to add value to your life, to be more than you are, to grow, educate yourself, work to serve, help others . You can’t just be left with intrinsic value. You cannot be locked in the house all day doing nothing, satisfied with the only self-worth you have. You must go for more.
