Many people are obsessed with talking about money, and at its core, it's a desire for clear-cut certainty. The numbers on paychecks, monthly KPIs, fixed rates of return—these are all visible and tangible. As a result, many equate price with value, feeling more secure the more the numbers are clear.

But reality is often harsh. The most critical variables in life are precisely the most uncertain—whether a startup can survive beyond the first year, whether a personal IP can be built, when the invested learning will pay off, which direction a relationship will take, whether deep research will yield results, and if long-term projects are worth sticking with. There are no standard answers to these, only continuous trial, error, and adjustment.

Conversely, all truly valuable things are almost invisible in their early stages. Bitcoin was initially worthless, and when the internet first appeared, no one was willing to pay. Real opportunities are often hidden in places where prices are low, prospects are fuzzy, and people can't quite understand.
