Location and possession
A reserved parking space in Manhattan costs about $700 per month. The same space in Memphis will set you back $20 per month. That's a pretty big difference. Likewise, an art piece found by a maid in an abandoned apartment is thrown in the trash because it is judged to be practically worthless. The same piece is found by someone who works at a museum and is saved and taken to the museum curator. It is now judged to be worth $2,000,000. A tattoo on the arm of a man hardly draws any attention. Put it on the lower back of a woman and you will notice a huge difference in the response. A house on the poor side of town has a value of $100,000. That same house in a pricy neighborhood is worth $145,000. A country in the hands of lazy, uneducated people has little value. In the hands of educated, hard-working people, it is priceless. An idea in the hands of a timid person will get nowhere. The same idea in the mind of a born salesman might be worth millions. What does all this mean? I don't know. You figure it out.
