Concerning the subject of this thread. Below is a copy and paste of my Facebook post two days ago. It could help
"Today I attended my second lecture on Natural Resources Economics I and as the lecturer explained something, I got a revelation which I doubt will get me marks in the final examination but definitely great value in life.
He explained that some resources are discovered through human ingenuity. The value of something or for it to become a resource can be determined by man's capacity to extract and process it. I got thinking, the same applies to the different people we meet in life as well as the relationships we have with them. Oil was just a useless thick liquid until man developed the technology to extract and process it. The whole procedure is expensive. It undergoes fractional distillation to produce petrol, diesel, natural gas, tar, sulphur, jet fuel and kerosene.
There are people who are like that in life. They are useless to us until we develop the relevant "technology" to extract and process what they carry within themselves. The very same stone somebody rests upon whilst basking in the sun can be the one someone sculptures into an elephant before selling it. The same woman/man you ditched may one day be a great mother/father and wife/husband to someone. The same plastic waste which we throw away is making someone thousands of dollars. An invention turned away by one company made someone wealthy and famous. A Time to Kill by John Grisham was initially rejected by 12 publishers and 16 agents before landing a deal somewhere. John Grisham is grandmaster novelist. Today I learnt about natural resources and I learnt to appreciate others. You are a supernatural resource waiting to be extracted and processed, you need mentors in life.
.
One of the reasons why we do not see the good or greatness in others is that we may be lacking the necessary fine qualities to extract and process what they carry. You carry greatness in you, do not be disappointed when others do not see it..."
