A bottle of water costs $1 at the grocery store, $4 at the airport, and $6+ at a concert. The same bottle of water. Only difference?
The environment.
So what can you take away from this?
You have unique intellect, talents, and charm that separate you from others. But not every person or employer will value you to your full potential. Others will.
Find those people.
If you’re not respected and treated well in your relationships, it’s time to gravitate towards people who share your interests and value what you bring to the table.
If you’re not being valued for your true talents at work, look for a career where your unique skillset will set you up to thrive and get paid for it.
Well said, Parag!
