“Trading Values” – Mr. ’Rotimi Odejayi
“Value” (in economics), means “a measure of the benefit that an economic actor can gain from either a good or service.” As culled from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Value. That is, a fair return or equivalent in goods, services, or money for something exchanged.
The topic
means for the youth to exchange the (societal) needed values for the
corresponding payments in cash, simply put, I give value and I am paid back in
turn.
The
Beginning is “the Trade by Batter” Concept
The real essence of living is for man to fulfill
purpose and this is possible through a proper understanding of how life works.
One major principle is the idea that “Nothing ventured, nothing gained, cum
something ventured, something gained.” And this is possible when you give up
your expertise for an exchange for cash. This all started during the “Hunting /Farming Age” wherein you give
trade agricultural products (Crops and farm animal) for benefiting from gained
utility. The word “utility” means “the satisfaction you derive from the
economic value of a good or and service consumed”. This is 21st
Century, wherein you do not practice the trade by batter again, what is
obtainable today is the Trading Value
Concept. This concept advocates the idea that, “you give-up your acquired
skills (and competence) for exchange for money. It is skill that dictates what
economic value the people place on you. What then is “skill”? The word “skill” here means “the ability to
do something well.” Here is the simple Formula, Skill = Knowledge + Ability. You can
acquire skill through any of these nine ways:
1.
