This is a 1000 gram iron bar. It’s raw value is around $100.
If you decide to make horseshoes, its value would increase to $250.
If, instead, you decided to make sewing needles, the value would increase to about $70,000.
If you decided to produce watch springs and gears, the value would increase to about $6 Million.
However still, if you decided to manufacture precision laser components out of it like ones used in lithography, it’ll be worth $15 Million.
Your value is not just what you are made of - but above all -in what ways you can make the best of who you are.
