Patrick Bet-David argues that difficulty acquiring something doesn't make it valuable. An expensive car or luxury watch might be hard to get, but real value lives in friendships, relationships, self-confidence, peace of mind, and your ability to influence others.
Just because something is hard to obtain does not mean that it is valuable.

Correct. Look at the car he's driving. Look at the watch he's wearing. Look at the girl he's with. These things were hard to obtain, so you presumed that they were valuable, but you didn't realize that what's genuinely valuable are friendships and relationships and a comfort and a confidence in yourself and peace of mind and sanity and being able to positively impact the people around you.
I like that. What's true also is like, as part of that, is what's valuable to me might not be valuable to you, and what's valuable to you might not be valuable to me. So I think figuring out what it is you want for yourself and going out and getting it's most important. It's cool perspective. I like doing hard things, but I can certainly, as I think about this, go like, not all of them were valuable in the way he put it.
