Why We Undervalue What We See Every Day (And How It Costs Us Growth).

The Invisible Genius Among Us. We can agree that it is not easy to believe in something that is said to be working when said by those we don't know. Strangers can sometimes feel like experts simply because they are unknown to us. Their distance creates a sense of credibility. What is funny again is that we so often ignore ideas that genuinely work when they come from people we see every day. Familiarity, instead of building trust, can blind us to value. A friend of mine once experienced this in a way that left me thinking deeply about how we treat the people around us. He wrote a strategic book filled with unique solutions for colleges with ideas that could transform their approach to life if only they had supported him by buying it. But they ignored it. They dismissed him, perhaps because they had seen him every day as a colleague and couldn’t imagine that he had the brilliance to create something exceptional.  A few years later,the world began to recognize the value in his wo...

A father of four can be thinking about where to get school fees, while a youth is thinking about where to get money to give to his girlfriend. This has created a boundary of reasoning in man...

WHAT CAN MONEY BUY?

. There is a saying by many people that money can't buy happiness, which might be true to some extent, but many things will create sadness if we starve from them.  To get them, we will always use money. This means that money is a tool that creates happiness indirectly because it relieves us from grievance and sadness brought by starvation over mandatory needs. These are some of the things money will buy for all of us. Direct and indirect security. Money as a tool for generations will always affect how we feel directly in case we don't have it if we are to fulfill our basic needs and wants. What am talking about is food, shelter, water, etc. A  child will cry endlessly if she or he feels hungry. There is no way how a parent can replace that discomfort for the child without providing food.  To buy food, you need to have money in your pocket. I just used a day-to-day example of food, but I request you to think of the day you felt bad and seriously got disturbed in your ...
