A colleague told me, "你现再的 value 应该是最高的". That got me thinking quite a bit.

There are many contexts whereby a person is being measured by his capabilities. It could be for a job application, when seeking that someone special, or even when buying a Birkin.

So then, what defines your value?

Is it your physical looks?
Your personality?
Your background?
Your moral values?
Your social network?
Your wealth?
Or is it your health?

In my opinion, how much a person is worth depends very much on everything about him. But who are we to judge? Nobody is perfect and even if we were, how do we start? Is there a marking scheme to a person's worth? The only grading system I'd come across is by comparing each other's paycheck and ranking them in magazines. And I definitely rank low in that.

There is always room for improvement. We should strive to better ourselves and up our market value as much as we can now. Time is the essence. We have to achieve as much as possible when younger so as to enjoy the fruits of our labour in the future. There is no wasting of time if we want to ensure our worth does not depreciate exponentially over time.

And if you are wondering what my colleague was referring to, he was talking about age.

Good luck to me in increasing my own market value.


Happy birthday to me!! (:
