What does it mean to add value?

in #hive-1679222 years ago

Many times I have been able to read publications in which it is said that if we want to achieve economic wealth, we must contribute or create value through our actions; and truly it is something very true; but...

What exactly is adding value?

Adding value means creating something that has value for someone, for someone else, for others. That said, we have total freedom to act, because it is something completely subjective.

Let's put it this way, if I invent a new device that only interests me, and has no use or value for someone else, then I won't be adding value; because for my invention to add value, it has to be important, necessary, useful or desirable by someone else.

The same thing happens if I write a book on a topic that only interests me and that no one else will find interesting... As I said before, it is something that will also depend on subjective values, that must be said; because there are also things that matter to certain groups of people when most people don't find it important.

To put it in other terms, someone who writes chess books, for example, will only add value to people interested in that subject, while for the rest of the world, they will only be worthless books.

This is where the relative of everything comes in, because adding value can be something entirely personal, since what seems important to a certain group of people might not have any value or use for the majority of people. It is what is known as niches.

The same goes for our posts here on Hive and LeoFinance; certainly most of my post aren't succesful, but some manage to get good rewards, so... What makes some publications successful and others not?

I think the answer is very simple: Some of my posts are liked by a certain number of people and many others are not.

So, adding value is what is important and it is what we must focus on in order to be successful in whatever field we want to be successful in. I think it is also very important that we discover what we are good at, because this way; it will be much easier for us to add value in whatever area we want to be successful in.

Please tell me your thoughts on everything I commented on in the post.

Certainly, Although I think it's more easy to say it than to do it, I mean, not always is as easy to do it.
