When we talk about value, value is very important. You cannot demand for value without having value.
The first thing in life is you must realize that you have value first and you must build your value then.
Second, you must realize that you have value.
If not, people cannot give you value. You might be talented and you might want help from others, but most of the time you might feel that we just feel like giving our talent for free without demanding help and most people that can be very useful can take advantage of you and keep benefit from you without getting anything in return.
It's not about having a value. You must know how to use your value to gain another value. It's not about learning these skills. You must know how to use these skills to generate money for yourself. It's not about becoming talented, becoming intelligent, becoming smart.
You must learn how to use these skills to get results for yourself. That is the most important thing and the second step of all of it and everything because once you don't know how to use your value to generate profit for yourself, always use your value to generate profit from yourself.
That is the main idea here so that's why you need to understand the usefulness of value or else others will show you how to use it.
