Emotional Value

Remember the feeling when you work your ass off to afford your first Braun Buffel wallet.
Remember the feeling when you work 2 years just to save up for the future and blow it all over in 1 trip to London.
Remember how hard it was to depart with a hundred dollars for the wallet and how heartpain to blow off all your 2 years savings for a trip to London.

Yet, it was memorable. Because these things are hard earned. And you made it. Though the value of the money is low as compared to current situation, yet, the value was so great.

Remember the first watch after working a year to afford it. That, was sense of acheivement.
Remember the second watch on your 23rd birthday. That, was a birthday gift for your own achievement. A reward. To be able to afford one that you like.
The first bag was of that value just as well.

Subseqently, all that follows lost its value. Not the value of the money. Yet, the emotional value. All that follows lose the emotional value. They don't mean as more anymore.

A bag is just like a bag. A bag to contain your stuff.
No longer a bag that was worth the sense of achievement and reward to myself.

Emotional value is when you know its worth. Emotional value is when you know the value in which this amout could do for yourself.

Emotional value is when it buys happiness. True happiness, simple little thing called happiness.

Simple little thing of knowing someone likes it. Simple thing of knowing that it makes a difference in someone's life. Simple thing of knowing it could possibly transform someone elses life. Simple thing that we all have, but some people will never have. Like a year of education. Like a pencil.

This give you a sense of inner happiness. To know that someone out there, appreciates this little things that might mean nothing to you, but mean a little difference to them. A year of education to us might not get us anywhere. But a year of education to others means the basic means of literacy. Literacy that could possibly lead them to a better life.

This is when the money works its wonder, not for you, but for others. And in return, this brings out its emotional value. The value of being able to achieve someone else's little dream, someone else's little smile.

Monetry value last only so much. But when you know, others benefits from it. When you know this could help mould a kids future, be it your own flesh or others less priviledge. When you know it could provide a shelter for others.

This is its real value. A sense of achievement. When you know, what you worked your ass off for, and how much worth it brings for working so hard for.
