In order to fully appreciate what
we are doing here, one first needs to understand that there are two basic types
of everything we possess in life… some things are more for show than practical use
and others are more for practical use than show. (i.e. The good dishes/silverware
vs. everyday table settings -or- Sunday type clothes vs. what would be worn in the
garden.) Realize intended purpose and you’ll seldom regret your expenditures.
However, even after purpose has been established as the primary logic for decision
making, clear-cut choices still may not be evident due to the sundry of advertising.
First, the line between actual need and want has been skewed because of rampant
advertising in general. And second, with so many companies touting that their product
or service is best, it’s easy for one to be unsure of the point of highest quality
and/or greatest value within the wide assortment offered.
When considering quality and value, one must also bear in mind that anything and
everything can be done in deficiency or excess:
As far as spending money, one can under spend or one can over spend – the
cheapest products typically have the poorest
durability (quality) and the most expensive ones seldom have additional performance
to justify their price (value).
The same can be said for labors put forth, whether working on a hunting cabin
or hunting dog, one can be shoddy or one
can be over meticulous.
Regardless of the task at hand, there’s always a point where the returns can be
at a relative maximum and yet there is virtually no waste.
