The Potential Gold Under Your Feet

Imagine living your whole life in the Arctic atop a mountain covered in ice. You work 50 hours a week and make an honest living. One day, for no real reason, you crack through the ice with a pick.When you do, you see something shiny. The color is deep, warm and yellow. Could it be?It is!OMG.It’s gold!There might even be some more.  So you keep digging. And you begin to realize, the entire mountain you’ve been living under is pure gold! If you had only known what was under your feet, you probably never would have had to work a day in your life.
How silly would you feel in that scenario?Would you even be able to calculate the potential time you wasted?
