Importance

To me, effort is everything. When I see a person persevering to achieve something, it shows me how much value he places in that object he desires to attain. As the dictum says, "It's the thought that counts."

However, I cannot blame people who only look at the results, and not the process or thought involved in achieving the goal. Maybe the world has come to the point where people are forcibly blinded to look only at the end, and not to look around and enjoy what the scenery has to give.

Eh, maybe that's just me.
