Re: Prepping for 2008: Awards, Bandsaws, and Perspective
The value of an object is directly proportional to how much work it takes to obtain that object (be it money, trophies, or anything else in life).
If obtaining a trophy in FIRST was easy, then it would have little to no value, as anyone could obtain one. The fact that this is tough and requires hard work and effort gives it value.
A good book on the value of objects (in this case money) is "Wealth of Nations" by Adam Smith.
