Where to invest will definitely be "profitable"?

If you ask me which way to invest is the wisest and definitely "profitable" investment, I can immediately answer that it is investing in yourself.

When you invest in yourself, it's like investing in a "super real estate" because it will always stick with you throughout your life. Another thing is that it will certainly be difficult for any small investment to bring high efficiency and continuously generate greater and greater profits like investing in yourself.

All of us desire to express ourselves and are excited when we feel important: do you feel happy when others call your name?, what do you feel when reading or listening to a poem? paragraph with your name in it? According to Maslow's hierarchy of needs, the highest human need is the desire to be recognized. So when you invest in yourself and feel satisfied, you have also reached the highest human need.

When you diligently invest in yourself, success and opportunities will find themselves. I'm sure so!

Don't misunderstand that investing in yourself means satisfying immediate needs such as eating, drinking, playing, traveling, buying nice clothes,... that will be later when your economic conditions improve. you do it. Investing in yourself here is to perfect your skills, learn necessary skills, improve your knowledge,...

So what do you need to do if you want to invest in yourself?

• Read books diligently to learn knowledge

There is a saying that I really like: "Reading books may not make you rich, but rich people always read books." That is also the reason why our country is currently very poor compared to other countries in the region despite its very favorable natural conditions.

According to statistics, currently in developed countries such as France, Japan, and Israel, the average person reads 20 books per year. In countries in the region such as Singapore, the average number of books people read is 14 books/year, Malaysia is 10 books/year... (excluding textbooks). As for Vietnamese people, it's... 0.8 books/year, which means the average Vietnamese person hasn't read even one book a year. This makes you even more startled when less than one of those books has a huge contribution to the story. love language.

So, are you not surprised why our country is slow to develop even though the starting point is higher than Singapore, Japan, Korea or Malaysia? If this situation continues, we will be below Cambodia and Laos in the near future. That image is present now, do you know, young Vietnamese people?

Reading books will bring you a great source of understanding and knowledge. Because knowledge comes from books that have gone through many synthesis processes. Next time, I will write an article about effective reading instructions for you so that reading becomes your hobby and habit.

• Strengthen relationships 

You are familiar with each other, so investing in yourself and strengthening your relationships will be an effective way for you to develop and increase your self-worth. Strengthening special relationships with people who are better than you will make you try harder to develop and learn a lot from them. Of course, I don't mean that you only play with people who are better than you and ignore those who are poorer or worse!

I have never met a person from whom I did not find something worth learning
– Alfred de Vigny –

Don't equate creating relationships with drinking more, eating out, or just wanting to go to seminars and diligently hand out business cards to enhance relationships. Treat everyone with sincerity, enthusiasm and sharing, you will receive what you deserve.

You can learn how to create relationships and how to treat people through good books such as: How to Win Friends and Influence People, Never Eat Alone, Who Covers Your Back,... (again you see at Why do we have to read books?

• Find yourself a hobby and passion

Having a hobby or passion will help you relieve stress and love life more. At the same time, it also helps you find people with the same passion to share and bond with. And who knows, they might be able to help you when you encounter problems in life. Successful people appreciate people with the same passion because what comes from nature and true love will make people excited and ignore doubts in life.
