What it was worth to you

People often decide how much money, time or effort something deserves, and are surprised when someone else, looking at the same thing, reaches a very different answer. Think about a time that happened to you.

The two questions

  1. 1Tell us about a time you had to decide how much money, time or effort something was worth to you, and someone else valued it very differently. What did you decide, and why?
  2. 2Describe a time that difference showed you what drives your own choices, and how, if at all, it has changed the way you make similar decisions since.
