We should all be creators of value.
What value you create is your decision.
A perspective on the value you create is to treat it like a garden. It is something you nurture and allow to thrive over time.
If it is quick and easy then anyone can do it and it is not very valuable.
Something that grows quickly is not worth as much as something that grows slowly.
Figuring out the value you can create and choosing something that is going to take a significant period of time is an effective path to have in life.
An artist may take decades to perfect his craft so he can create a valuable work of art.
