The goal of this blog is unique. I want to help anyone, anywhere find the hidden value in their surroundings whether they are at home, at work, on the train, or alone with their thoughts. This is not a spiritual endeavor or a self-improvement plan. It is simply a way to find the value in the people, places, and things that we see everyday.
I intend to post a new tip every day so we will not have reruns of old material just because I took a vacation. In fact, if I took a vacation and did not bother to search for hidden value: I would be telling you to do as I say--not as I do. And that would be very foolish.
Since this is the first day of my endeavor, I will begin by explaining what I mean by value and why I think it is often hidden from us.
Let's say you have some coins in your pocket. This pocket change consists of 1 quarter, 2 dimes, 3 nickels, and 5 pennies. If I were to ask what is the value of this pocket change, everyone would answer "65-cents." That is the apparent value of this collection. But what if one of the dimes happens to be a 1942 Mercury dime.
It's apparent value is 10-cents, but its hidden value could be closer to 12000-cents.
Why? because it is 90% pure silver and because there were not many dimes minted in 1942. So it has both commodity value and collectable value--hidden value for those who are unaware of these two facts.
