Money goes to those who provide services and goods to others. The services that add lasting high value tend to provide more sustainable financial returns when compared to those that provide low value.

What is valuable can change from culture to culture, generation to generation and era to era.

You can add value in many ways - for instance, by being a productive employee, an inventor or an effective business owner.

The way you add value, or make a difference, is not as important as the fact that you do so.  

Over time, the contribution you make to a community, industry, workplace or an individual is the seed from where you add value.
