How to invest in yourself: the instruction

People who care about their future, always look for good objects for investment.

And this is right, because it is extremely unwise to hope for a beggarly pension that the state will ever pay.

However, going astray in search of earnings, we forget about self-development.

Invest in yourself - this is the most profitable project from all possible options, dividends from which, when properly planned, you will get really huge.

"Investing in yourself? No, I did not! »

I had friends: a married couple Dima and Karina.

They are good guys and we communicated well until they began to pull into the company of the cousin Karina - Victor.

He was in business( he had two tents on the market) and was just hooked on profits.

This, in general, is not bad, a person cared about his future, he desired material independence.

All of his investment projects were limited only by money signs.

Victor himself:

Differed in the paucity of the mind and primitive judgments.
Books were afraid more than devils of holy water.

Considered that developing travel is a waste of money, and the coolest holiday is a trip to Turkey with an all inclusive, when you can get away with freebies and food by the pool.
Weighed one and a half centners.
He did not care about his teeth, so he always smelled something dead from his mouth.
I went in crumpled stale clothes, with dirty nails and a dirty unwashed head of hair.

In general, typic was still one.

Personality degradation - how to prevent this?

One day I was so sick of listening to how much money he had collected yesterday from the distributor of his tent and about the "bank in which he has an account", that I asked if he wanted to look for other objects for investment, for example, to look closelyto yourself?

Victor was dumbfounded and asked: " Investing in yourself is like ?".

What does this mean - investing in yourself?

I already decided that Karina's brother is determined to change herself for the better, therefore she tried to explain to him that the investment in myself, in my opinion, is:

Health.
Appearance.
Knowledge.

Without these three components, no person can be considered successful and self-sufficient.

I will not bore you with the details of our dialogue with the grief-businessman.

I will only say that it all ended in a scandal.

Victor yelled that in the coffin, he saw all sorts of psychological stuff and that for him the main thing - a lot of dough.

There will be a mountain of money - there will be everything else.

Karina was offended that I do not consider her brother the prettiest of people.

Dima took the side of his wife.

I left and refused to communicate with these people in the future, because to be friends with those with whom you have nothing in common is a waste of time.

If you do not suffer from the stupidity that Viktor is seriously ill, you will probably want to know more about investing in yourself.

Investing in your health

While we are young, it seems to us that we will always have good health.

This is a very dangerous delusion, because it depends on how well you care about your health in the young, depends on your well-being in adulthood.

Investing in your health means that you:

You eat right.

Not only that it is tasty, but also that is useful.

A healthy person is obliged to love greens, fruits, vegetables, lean meat, fatty fish, nuts, liver.
You take vitamins.

And do not need to tell me how expensive they are!

We did not drink a beer with friends - we bought vitamins, which will last for a month or two.
Spend at least 1 hour a day outdoors.

If you find it difficult to find time for such a long walk, then go to work or study on foot.
Regularly visit a dentist, gynecologist ( boys - to another doctor), at least once every two years you take general tests and do fluorography.
When ill, go to the doctor , and do not start terrorizing the pharmacist in the hope of shaking out a miracle potion from him, or consulting friends on the Internet.

I understand that medicine in our country is far from perfect, but this is not an excuse for a careless attitude towards one's health.

Investing in your appearance

A successful person simply can not look like a fatty groomed sump cat.

I'm not saying that you do not have to get out of beauty salons for days on end, but one of the mandatory components of investing in yourself is work on appearance.

You must:

Do sports to have a slim and fit body, and not groom and cherish fat stores.
Do not leave the house with dirty undersized head of hair or with overgrown unpainted hair roots.
Regularly do manicures and pedicures( advice applies to both sexes!).
Take care of your skin.

For this it is worth at least once in 2 months to visit a beautician and not be lazy to look after your face and body.

This paragraph applies to men too.

Pimping shiny skin looks disgusting.
Watch your wardrobe.

Choose quality items that emphasize the dignity of your figure, in time to wash and iron them.

which will make you think about

what is useful in yourself every day?

Investing in your knowledge

This is perhaps the main point of the investment program in yourself a loved one.

I am convinced that a normal person should learn every day something new, engage in self-development.

One hundred times the one who was right was right: "Do not carry knowledge behind your shoulders, and you never know what information is useful to you today."

The right investment in your knowledge is:

Reading.

Make it a rule to read at least 50-100 pages per day.

Give preference to training, psychological literature, advice of people who have achieved success, best-sellers( you need to follow the fashion), classics.
Courses, trainings, presentations, meetings with famous people, etc.
Video.

Of course, first of all, you need to focus on a useful and educational video, documentary.

However, good art films will teach you a lot. Travel
.

Going to another country( or at least to another city), try to get acquainted with all the sights.

Do not stick around for days on the beach or at the bar.
Entertainment.

Multiply your knowledge can go to the movies, theaters, museums, botanical gardens, zoos, planetariums, etc.

It's easy for a reasonable person to understand how to invest in yourself .

He and without additional reminders are ready to absorb new knowledge, to monitor their appearance and health.

It's only the narrow-minded individuals believe that the word "investment" has only one meaning: row more than a dough.

I'm such sincerely sorry.
