And finance Allah shmoop what is a cost as in

a cost versus and expensive Shmoop think about life as

a grand tradeoff You decided Teo really go for it

and fulfill your dream of becoming a figure skater for

your shining fifteen minutes of fame in the Olympics and

a few years of you know Disney on Ice afterwards

And that well you spent eighty hours a week for

a decade on the better part of your youth on

the ice spinning and twirling and doing that infinity thing

From age eight to twenty you spent the most precious

resource You had time dedicated to the mission of winning

an Olympic gold medal being the best skater you could

be and pretty much ignoring everything else While that time

the time you spent skating was a cost you had

a precious resource your time and you spent it all

pretty much on the ice You could have spent the

same amount of time learning how to code in Java

or C plus plus and or swift If you like

doing the iPhone app that's the language they use Or

you could've spent it mastering chemistry and biology and a

mission to cure cancer Or you could have spent it

mastering the meaning of the meaning of the meaning of

things and been a lawyer defending the rights of the

poor the downtrodden and the innocent But no you spent

your resource is on the ice Big cost They're hoping

for audience applause and some kind of satisfaction for having

landed on your feet Well that allocation of your precious

resource your time was a cost What's the ultimate cost

opportunity cost Yeah like you for went the opportunity of

being a cancer cure or a defender of the poor

the downtrodden or ah the next Mark Zuckerberg to instead

be skater So cost is a sacrifice of resource is

cost is a philosophy and event not necessarily even tracked

It's kind of a commitment to one thing over another

right So that's cost on what's expense Well not nearly

so Pete Those laden inhuman in a kind of sad

and expenses just in accounting structure where the dollar value

of some cost is calculated and then subtracted from what

are hopefully revenues Teo upset it expenses Just a line

item on an income statement with numbers It's not where

dreams go to die Or uh maybe just held out

for a while to be revisited later in life or 00:02:22.333 --> [endTime] being put you know on ice
