<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Kevin Mader, post: 3769282, member: 106826&quot;]I thought I&#039;d offer this for consideration, so I apologize in advance for this different, and off-topic, comment:</p><p><br /></p><p>Here in the West, we are raised with the idea that results are more important than how we achieve results (the process).&nbsp; As a result, some folks resort to less then ethical practices to get them (e.g., cheating to score high on a test).&nbsp; Others are willing, however, to put in the effort and time to score well on the test by studying and listening closely to the teacher. We all hear growing up that the joy comes in doing. I believe this to be true.&nbsp; Spending time with artists and craftsmen bear this out.&nbsp; Joy in work...joy in doing.&nbsp; It&#039;s far more alluring than the results...which is the icing on the cake.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now apply this to CRH and finding errors and varieties.&nbsp; The joy is in the doing...the CRH events.&nbsp; Finding keepers (old coins, high grade specimens, errors, varieties, etc.) using the multiple methods we employ brings hours of entertainment.&nbsp; Win-win in my book.&nbsp; I respect that some folks don&#039;t have the time or interest in setting down to a box of coins to find coinage of minimal value.&nbsp; In fairness to those folks, it&#039;s why I always encourage CRH enthusiasts to expand their searches to include errors and varieties, which are generally more valuable than the old relics we occasionally pluck.&nbsp; But I never discourage folks who wish to limit their CRH folks for just the relics.&nbsp; Whatever brings a person joy (in the doing or in what is found), that&#039;s absolutely the right thing for them.&nbsp; Judgment free zone.</p><p><br /></p><p>On the bigger part of the spectrum, examine your own lives.&nbsp; Are you &#039;results oriented&#039; or &#039;process oriented&#039;.&nbsp; I will suggest that the latter provides an individual with longer lasting joy in whatever it is you&#039;re doing and that the ancillary benefit is in the &#039;results achieved&#039;.&nbsp; It is particularly why I usually end a number of my posts with - &quot;Enjoy the hunt!&quot;&nbsp; I am process focused.&nbsp; Thanks for indulging me a bit.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
