Buffett once said, "There is one investment that surpasses all others, and that is investing in yourself."
Investing in oneself can bring about a compounding effect that lasts a lifetime.
Loving yourself and being willing to invest in yourself is a choice that never fails to pay off.
01、 Invest in your own health
One can be without money, without a career, and without social status, but one cannot be without health.
A healthy body is the foundation of a high-quality life and the root that carries happiness.
Investing in health is the most effective "savings" against the passage of time. It can be started from the following three aspects:
- Maintain a regular schedule.
- Those who stay up late, lost in various videos on their phones. The harm of staying up late is extremely significant. All the organs in the body cannot get sufficient rest. In the long run, problems will arise in the body, which is truly not worth it.
- Scientific diet.
- "All stomach problems are caused by being unable to control one's eating." Have three meals a day, ensure a reasonable combination of meat and vegetables, eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, reduce the intake of oil, salt, and sugar, and eat less spicy and other stimulating foods.
- Engage in moderate exercise.
- Allocate one hour each day to invigorate your body. In fact, every minute you invest in exercise today will save you more time in the future. Research from Harvard University shows that starting from the age of 35, for every hour spent on fitness, your future medical time can be reduced by 3 hours.
02、 Invest in your own earning ability
As the saying goes: "If one has no money, life cannot be said to be happy."
Economic foundation determines the quality of life.
Investing in one's earning ability is essentially an investment in one's survival ability.
The self-investment in the first half of life often determines the gap in the second half.
Cultivating sustainable earning ability actually means cultivating the ability for lifelong learning.
By continuously reading, improving skills and delving deeply into one's profession, one can constantly enhance professional ability and realize personal value.
When you achieve this, unemployment will no longer be a threat, because your uniqueness will become the foundation of your existence.
In an era full of uncertainties, personal ability has a more risk-resistant advantage than a fixed position.
Just as Buffett said: "Investing in oneself is the best choice. The knowledge and skills you possess are the never-depreciating hard currency."
03 、 Invest in your spiritual world
There is a widely circulated saying on the internet: "Attractive appearances are all the same, but interesting souls are rare and unique."One can be without money, without a career, and without social status, but one cannot be without health.
Love yourself, nourish your inner self with care, and make yourself possess a rich and interesting soul.
Japanese writer Misato Matsura wrote in "Boldly Investing in Yourself": "Paying attention to inner needs is far more important than blindly pursuing wealth."
Cultivating one's own interests and hobbies, such as reading, writing, painting, and music, can make life more colorful.
Just as psychologist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi discovered: The sense of happiness derived from being fully immersed in something one loves is equivalent to an increase in annual income.
