As I remember the conversation, his reference was to monetary value, not intrinsic value. Yes, my time, to me, is the most valuable thing I have, but this person was clear in that he was placing a monetary value on the use of his time. But in the sense of a hobby, even the most mundane activities can be quite rewarding. I read an account of a person who was restoring an old ship model that was built plank on frame. As he was removing the planks he discovered that the original builder had written the days current events on the underside of the planks he was installing that day. This writing would never be seen once the model was built, but he spent his time doing it anyway. How you use your time is for you to choose, and should not be determined by how much someone is willing to pay you.
