Especially for us boys, the biggest goal in life is to find a better source of income. Whatever knowledge we gain in life or acquire skills is mainly for a better source of income. We start this fight from a very young age and start going to school. We call them a kind of investment in ourselves which our parents bear. But after finding a source of income, are we investing in ourselves with our own finances? Or are we getting absorbed in the pleasure of finding a source of income? Maybe most people are stopping investing in themselves and are focusing more on consumption. We even stop working on improving our source of income when we are earning for a normal life.
But what will happen if we keep investing in ourselves constantly? Our skills will increase and our source of income will continue to improve. Many people are involved in business activities, they can continue to invest regularly for the improvement of themselves and their business establishments. You can take a course or spend time learning a subject to improve your skills. Investment is not just about financial investment. In terms of financial investment, you can invest 10%-20% of your income, which will improve your life.
Don't delay or get discouraged in upgrading yourself. Keep improving yourself through continuous investment and acquiring new skills. This investment will improve you and improve your source of income.
This is a very good advice to everyone here. Op has said it all already. One thing about some humans is that they get too comfortable with average and it is not a good idea. Sometimes when people finally succeed in getting to some extent in life, they relax and rejoice that they can now feed themselves and their families without even making any other attempts to improve their skills or invest in themselves. Personal development is very good even if you are already comfortable.
You can enroll in school online or offline, you can learn skills, you can diversify by trying out new trades or businesses. This will allow you expand your scope and also gives you an edge over ordinary people. Do you know that no matter the amount of money you make, you still need more. You may have money without fame, you may have money, fame without reasonable connections. Sometimes we meet destiny helpers in our road to improving ourselves and that is why you also need to invest that time or resources in yourself.
Some people work for 365 days without getting anything for themselves. Make out time to take yourself out, buy new stuffs for your self and eat well. It's not everyday you will be sensitive to other people's problems or even family problems, invest in your self. If you refuse to invest in yourself, when you eventually fall, they will still laugh at you and blame you for not being wise. To be fore warned is to be fore armed.
