I was looking down on Manhattan and saw billions of dollars worth of real estate but all I could see was the priceless beauty of Central Park. Just the fact that it was not developed makes it priceless, in the midst of such wealth, what people value in real estate and all the things in those apartments. We have the equivalent in Vancouver, Stanley Park. It’s like the Mastercard motto, some things in life are priceless. How much did Priceless.com sell for?
Value is created by need. Sometimes you don’t realize how valuable it is until you lose something. Imagine this. If you had no air to breathe for four minutes, what would you trade for a breath of air? If you lost your eyes, what would you give to get back your vision. Your hearing? Your legs? Your heart?
Then there are values, great ones like honesty, integrity, humbleness. But show me a man who is perfect and flawless, and I will show you God. Even then, there are critics who claim flaws there. And we struggle with our conscience, to do the right thing, to live beyond ourselves. Each person in this world, six billion and counting have different things they value and different needs. And yet, some things are very common, that are able to bind our hearts and work together for a greater cause, beyond our needs.
It’s not tied to money. If you wait until you have lots of money, and most of the time, you spend what you make and so you have very little savings, it will be so difficult to do big things, when you have not been accustomed to doing things on a small scale. Donating $1 when you only have $2 is a lot harder than donating $1,000,000 when you have $2,000,000.
