15 successful tips for boldly investing in yourself

By Dempsey DavisPublished 2 years ago 5 min read

Young age is the most need to store wisdom, and knowledge assets, and the accumulation of "intangible wealth" can create the greatest wealth in life.

1. Learn at least one foreign language.

Many office workers are isolated from language learning after graduation from school, especially in non-international companies, often neglecting foreign language learning. In terms of the future trend, companies with potential will develop internationally. If they don't take advantage of young people to reserve their strength, they will not only learn when they are in their 30s and 40s and become the backbone of the company, but also lose their competitiveness.

2. Don't give up what you learned in school.

A lot of people will probably say, "What I learned in college doesn't help me in my current job." It would be a pity to leave behind what we have learned in the past. People are unlikely to stay in the same job all their lives and, far from being wasteful, continuing to focus on the subject, you studied as a student can increase your options when you change careers.

3. Read a book a week.

The FORMATION OF reading habits can help people in the era of knowledge explosion, and enrich the ability to choose information, in the torrent of information to get the most beneficial information. Classics, world classics, biographies of great men, favorite reading of school days, these seem to have nothing to do with the work of books, can expand the horizon, in the development of personality and thinking ability will be of great help.

4. Buy your books and magazines.

Books are for "looking up", not just "looking at". It is difficult to read a book thoroughly in the limited time available, but there is always some information that will be useful in the future and available when needed so that you don't waste your time reading it.

5. Read a week's newspaper on Sunday.

Newspapers, with their considerable instantaneity of information, are important conduits for absorbing information. However, reading part by part every day is only the "dot" level, and reading the newspaper of the week on Sunday can connect the "thread" level of an issue and understand the whole story.

6. Read the news. Don't just read financial news.

For office workers, financial news is of course a must-read, but if you only read a single newspaper, your vision will inevitably be too narrow, so it is helpful to hone your news acuity by reading more copies. Other pages, such as the sports section and the literature section, should also be browsed for unexpected beneficial information.

7. Think flexibly and read from multiple perspectives.

Nowadays, there is a tendency for job fragmentation. Under a high degree of specialization, everyone tries their best to strengthen professional knowledge, but many people do not know anything else except their own major.

8. Give yourself a new challenge every week.

Psychologists say that changing into a new style of clothing or changing the arrangement of the house can give people new stimulation, which has the effect of "self-inspiring". In the same environment for a long time, young people will accelerate rigid aging. So give yourself a new adventure every week! Buy a new book, go somewhere you've never been before, and give yourself fresh excitement and energy.

9. Get in touch with hot products and think about the reasons why they sell well.

Today's young people, who have been brought up on television and have little interest in the pulse of society, are thus insensitive to social change and aging in the workplace. The speed of change in modern society is amazing. If you don't keep up with the trend, you will be eliminated. For best-selling products, you don't have to buy them, but you should feel and think about why they sell well. The office is not a library. If you just want to spend the rest of your life at your desk, it will be like retirement. Get out and about more.

10, a holiday to the busy place to feel the pulse of The Times.

According to statistics, the number one leisure entertainment for office workers is "watching TV", accounting for more than 50 percent, the remaining 30 percent of people choose to "sleep". Of course, proper rest is necessary after a hard week's work. But the quality of leisure life should also be considered. Going to department stores, concerts, and events on vacation will give you a chance to see people of all shapes and sizes that you don't normally get to see, which may inspire ideas for new products.

11. Use your commute time for "spot observation."

For the majority of bus and train people, the use of commuting time is also a big knowledge. Some people may be dazed or dozed off, or suffer in silence from the crowds and arrive exhausted. Spend a little thought, also can obtain many unexpected harvests on the way to work. In particular, the same traffic route every day can just be observed at a fixed point, the same area, fixed time observation, it is easy to detect the change of a place.

12. Get in touch with people from different fields.

In general, we get along better with friends who can talk about the same things. But in fact, contact with people from different fields and hearing about the work and hardships of all walks of life can give the mind fresh stimulation and activate thinking, which is the perfect opportunity to develop intelligence gathering ability. The fresh PERSON THAT JUST BEGINS A JOB, IN ENLARGES KNOWLEDGE, expands horizon TO strengthen on is quite IMPORTANT.

13. Give yourself a "me" time every week.

Work is seriously worthy of praise, but blindly buried in the work but there will be a crisis! Do you stop to review and plan for your work performance, interpersonal relationship, family relationship, and so on in the same work repeatedly every day? Busy habits may make you blind, give yourself a week of alone time, and do the precipitation of the soul.

14. Don't begrudge investing in yourself.

Many books say, Get rich by the age of 30, or become a millionaire by the age of 25. As a result, young office workers are increasingly focusing on accumulating money as their job goal, while they are less inclined to invest in education and travel to expand their knowledge. Young people need to store wisdom and knowledge assets, and the accumulation of intangible goods can create the greatest wealth in life.

15. Avoid credit cards.

Americans' spending power is well known, thanks in part to the popularity of credit cards. Everybody KNOWS QUITE CERTAINLY TO THE CONSUMPTION WAY OF CREDIT CARD, LACK THE USE SENSE OF CASH, HARD TO AVOID CAN LET A PERSON BE IN impercepTIBLY DID NOT NECESSARY CONSUMPTION. In addition to keeping your wallet tight, you can also avoid losing track of money. Especially in a commodity society, how can you do business without a sense of money?
