"We choose to go to the moon and do the other things not because they are easy but because they are hard." Why do we value doing things that are difficult? Why should it matter how much effort went into doing something if the outcome is the same? People tend to think differently about this depending on the context. This week, we discuss a way of measuring the difficulty of an achievement and weigh it against various things people are impressed with.
