#knowledge This is a 1,000-gram iron bar, which in its raw state is worth only $100.

If it is used to make horseshoes, its price increases to $250.

If it is used to make sewing needles, its price reaches about $70,000.

If it is molded into watch parts and glasses, its value reaches six million dollars.

But if it is converted into high-tech laser components used in computer chips, the same bar suddenly becomes worth $15 million.

Your true value is not in what you are made of, but in how you develop and use your skills.
