Rewarding

"The most rewarding things you do in life are often the ones that look like they cannot be done."
Arnold Palmer

It is true that the greater the risk, the greater the reward; but it is also true that the more effort you put into acheiving something, the more highly you, and often others, value it. When we get something for free, we don't value it much. If we have to pay for it with our own hard-earned money, then we appreciate it much more. Things that are expensive are generally accepted to be of better quality than things that are cheap. Because they have required more work on the part of the manufacturer, we are willing to pay more money for them. We are always willing to pay more for the extra work that somebody put into something.

The more work you put into acheiving something the higher you value it. Of course, you could also argue that the more you value something, the more work you will put into acheiving it. It works both ways. But if you value something that you think you can't do, and you then actually succeed in doing it; that is when you come to value it most of all. It has, after all, shown you what you are capable of, and that is an extremely valuable thing to know. It has shown you that all your hard work and your faith really does pay off, which is an extremely useful thing to know. It is the knowledge that you gain about yourself that is so valuable, more than the acheivement. It is knowing that you can be successful despite the odds, that is so rewarding.
