Quote by Source Unknown

A bar of iron costs $5, made into horseshoes its worth is $12, made into needles its worth is $3500, made into balance springs for watches, its worth is $300, 000. Your own value is determined also by what you are able to make of yourself.

A bar of iron costs $5, made into horseshoes its worth is $1

Summary

This quote suggests that like various products made from iron have different values based on their purpose, our own worth and value as individuals can also vary. Just as an iron bar can be transformed into various valuable products, we too have the ability to shape ourselves and develop our skills and capacities. Our personal growth, achievements, and the positive impact we make in our lives determine our true value. It emphasizes that our individual worth is not fixed, but rather shaped by our efforts and choices in becoming the best version of ourselves.
