VALUE or VOLUME…
Which is it, for you?
What of the two, “looks like you”?

Volume, you’re basically occupying space just like any other thing would, correct?
Whereas with value, you become more dear to the world, either in terms of finance or character

If I may ask, is it possible for you to add both value and volume to this world, in general?
Or is it that you only get to lie at one end of the rope?

When you step into your house, does it embrace you with open arms and lovingly
Or does it cry trespass to whoever can care to hear?
How about when you get to work? How’s it there?
Is your productivity for the company missed for every second you’re absent, even when go to take a leak?
Your friends…do they complain of your parasitism to the point that they just can’t wait for those moments when they are away from you?
Or do they keep on coming back to you, for more guidance, affection and most of all, wise counsel?

With the way things are going, many more people are dropping all those people, things, lifestyles that don’t add value to their lives
For one simple reason…
They’re looking for ways to add value to them
For the human eye loves anything that looks really valuable and rather not, “volumeable”

At the end of the day, it’s your choice to either add value or volume to this world…NEVER FORGET THAT.
I prefer to add value in all ways than volume. It’s more meaningful, satisfying and Fulfilling.
Aaahhhhh…that’s good to know, Sandra. Thank you for appreciating and sharing.
I love this post and the explaining of the difference in words! I prefer to add value to the world and I hope I am teaching my children the same! We have enough volume in the world & need more value!
Aaawwwww…wow! Am sure you’re doing a great job guiding your children to the Sustainable path of living. Thank you for appreciating and sharing.
I will always prefer to add value. It is indeed more meaningful and fulfilling. It makes you proud of what you did and who you are
Ooohhhh yyyeeaaahhhhh, it does. Thank you for sharing.
I have heard this in the workplace many times. I definitely prefer to add value! Volume is such a waste of time and space!
Ooohhhh…that’s excellent of you. Thank you for sharing.
I would love to think I am adding value to the world rather than volume, or at the very least that is what I work to do.
Hhhhmmmm…alright, Sarah. That’s excellent to hear. Thank you for sharing.
I am often at odds with people that appreciate volume over value. It’s the same as quality over quantity, as I’d rather pay more for something that will last a much longer time in the long run.
Hhhhhmmmmmm…alright, Jen. If you say so. Thank you for sharing.
I especially love the title of this post – it definitely picqued my curiosity to read on. Yes let’s continue to find more ways to be people of value!
Thank you, Milton. Am so glad to hear this. Thank you for sharing.
Very important! Just like either quality or quantity! I loved how you explained it so easily! 🙂
Indeed, Aishwarya. Thank you for appreciating and sharing.
I think many of us would choose to think we are adding value to our lives or those around us than just volume.
Hhhhhmmmmmm…if you put it that way, Myra, yes. You’re right. Thank you for sharing.
Interesting thought. Although I’m sure I could name some that do both, I think I can name more that do neither.
Aaaannnhhhaaaaa…those are a bonus to the life we live. Thank you, Scott for appreciating and sharing.
Hmm, this is an important thought to keep in mind. I think it’s important to have a mixture of both–although I would hope I would have more value!
Hhhhhmmmmmmmm….alright Amber. If you say so. Thank you for sharing.
I definitely feel like value and therefore quality is more important than quantity and volume. Especially when it comes to blogging!
Aaaaahhhhhhh…that’s excellent to hear, Ana. Thank you for sharing.
I think value is always more important than volume. Its the same as having quality over quantity! I would much rather have people who add value to my life than have a whole lot of people who add nothing.
Helen xx
Hhhhmmmmmm…that’s a very valuable thought you’ve there, Helen. Thank you for sharing and appreciating.
XOXO
I firmly believe that value is more important than volume (but exceptions are always there! ). I really liked the way you’ve explained the importance of “value”. Thanks for sharing!
You’re welcome, Saxena.
I always add value first. Volume is secondary. I always focus on the quality first.
??? excellent. Thank you for appreciating and sharing.
such an important thing to remember, the difference between value and volume, and when to add each (or both)
Indeed, Dawn. Thank you for appreciating and sharing.
Good pointers here. Personally, i prefer to have more value because logically speaking, it creates more impact than volume.
Thank you, Blair. Value is way better.
As someone who often blogs about the meanings of words, and how they differ from one another, I really appreciate this post! It’s a great distinction between value and volume, and reminds me of the idea of quality of time versus quantity of time spent with children, friends, and other important people in our lives. Clearly, value is more important than volume.
Aaalllrrrriiiggghhhtttttt, Dr. Banks. Thank you for sharing and appreciating.
thanks for the great words and for clearly explaining the difference between the two words. i would prefer to add value than volume.
You’re welcome, Susan.
You’re welcome, Susan. Thank you for appreciating and sharing.
This is a great concept to think about. I like how you asked question to encourage reflection, rather then just having your readers read through without thinking.
Indeed. Thank you for appreciating and sharing.
These are great questions to ask. I really need to take the time to think about these topics more.
Indeed, they’re. You just have to think about them more closely.
I like to think that I add value in everything I do (volume). When there’s volume there’s values.
Ooohhhh…alright, Sharon. If you say so. That’s one way of putting it. Thank you for appreciating and sharing.
The mainstream media, does love volume and thats why we are bombarded with all sorts everyday. But as you say the value is more important but difficult to achieve and more difficult to stand out!
Hhhmmmmm….alright Sreekar. If you say so.
I’m sorry, I still don’t understand the difference between volume or value. But I would like to think everyone would like to add value to the world and their life vs. any alternative
Aaaaahhhhh…..actually, you do know the difference, by the way you’ve put it. ??❤️
Adding value is my way to go!! Times can change but values never do for me:)
????thank you, Carla! ??❤️
As i grew up, realized this concept and making changes, I started noticing i was gaining positive people around me and also my spirit being more relaxed. It is a happier path to take
Aaaaahhhhh…I’m very glad to hear this, Jada! Keep it up. ??❤️
Have you ever considered about adding a little bit more than just your articles? I mean, what you say is important and everything. But think about if you added some great photos or video clips to give your posts more, “pop”! Your content is excellent but with pics and clips, this site could certainly be one of the most beneficial in its niche. Good blog!
Oh yeah….I have thought about it for a while now. I guess, it’s among my big plans for the future!
you have such a nice and unique way of defining things! i’ve learned that it’s important to see the value in yourself and in others, thank you 🙂
😍😍👏🏿👏🏿
One of the greatest lessons I’ve had is to create and focus on valuable things. Add more meaning and value to my life and not volume.
😍👏🏿👏🏿
I believe that less is always more. Quality over quantity always.
😍😍👏🏿👏🏿
This was such a powerful read. It really highlights how important it is for us to check ourselves and always try to be the best version of ourselves.
👍👍👏🏿👏🏿
this is a $1M question, something to reflect on, thanks for this article.
👍👍👏🏿👏🏿
Oh, interesting post! I think adding value is more important and meaningful. And hope I am such a person.
😍😍👏🏿👏🏿
So interesting to think about this for a moment. I think we should think about how our actions are meaningful.
👍👍👏🏿👏🏿
I hope that I am adding value. But I have to remember to always add value in every situation. It’s so easy to just take up volume.
👍👍👏🏿👏🏿
It’s an interesting question, the world needs more of people who add value and help others.
👍👍👏🏿👏🏿
I often think about this. I would like to think I’m providing value to the world.
👍👍👏🏿👏🏿
I agree that while there can be value in volume for certain things, they’re not always the same. Valuable time to me is family time.
👍👍👏🏿👏🏿
I’m trying to add value but it’s hard to do in every aspect. You’ve made me think about it for sure
👍👍👏🏿👏🏿
You have made a good point and Quality is always more important. thanks for putting this
👍👍👏🏿👏🏿
Adding value is extremely important right now because the work force is taking new levels of innovation.
😍😍👍👍
