Life is a process of continuous investment. Wherever you invest, you will have results. The only reliable investment in this world is investing in yourself.
"No one can take away what's inside of you, and everyone has their untapped potential."
Investing in yourself will make you never lose value and continue to increase in value.
01. Invest in health with exercise
Plato once said that there are three wealth in life, the third wealth is property, the second wealth is beauty, and the first wealth is health.
Life is like a marathon. It seems to be fighting for ability, financial resources, and resources, but in fact it is all about health.
Academician Zhong Nanshan said that the greatest success in life is to live healthy. Now over 80, he still insists on exercising two or three times a week.
This highly self-disciplined lifestyle makes many young people feel ashamed.
There is an old saying, "Flowing water does not rot, and the door hinge does not rot." It means that the flowing water will not stink, and the door hinges that rotate frequently are not easy to rot. The same is true of the human body. Regular exercise will keep your body from "rusting" and make you healthier.
Investing in health with sports is a business that is sure to make money. The more energy invested in health in the first half of life, the higher the happiness index in the second half of life will be.
02. Invest in image with self-discipline
It is often said that if you want to know whether a melon is good or bad, you can look at its shape and color; if you want to know the strength and size of a horse, you can look at its demeanor and breath.
The same goes for people. As Russell said: "A person's appearance is the appearance of a person's value. It hides your self-disciplined life and the life you are pursuing."
A slender and well-proportioned figure is inseparable from the sweaty exercise in the gym; delicate and smooth skin is inseparable from ten years of daily maintenance; a full-bodied spirit comes from a long-term self-disciplined lifestyle.
After a person reaches middle age, a person's facial features are determined by himself.
Self-discipline is hidden in appearance, mentality is hidden in behavior, and attitude towards life is hidden in clothes.
Appropriately dressed, calm and dignified, calm and independent, is respect for others and a mature state of life and attitude towards life.
03. Invest in relationships with sincerity
There is also a law of conservation in the relationship between people.
Someone once asked on the Internet: "How do relationships between people fade?" One comment read: "A person can only take, but never give."
Although sincerity is free, it is by no means cheap, and favors are also free, but the price is also very expensive. Don't be stingy with your dedication and sincerity. It is said that if you want to take it first, you must give it first.
Only when the relationship is full of courage and mutual benefit, can mutual trust be more stable and stronger, and inspire more possibilities.
As with love, so with friendship.
Spend a little more thought and energy on our lovers and friends, and we will reap the most precious sincerity and warmth between people, as well as the rarest mutual help.
04. Use learning to invest in ability
Franklin said: "Anyone who invests in knowledge can never take it away. Invest in knowledge and get the most out of it."
The times are constantly changing, there is no stable job, only stable ability. The iron rice bowl that we once thought could last a lifetime is slowly being broken.
In the turmoil of the times, opportunities and challenges coexist. For those who are immersed in the comfort zone, it is a prison, but for the strong who are constantly improving, opportunities are everywhere. The world is improving every minute and every second. You stagnation is a regression.
Only by constantly learning and investing in one's own brain and ability, can we move forward steadily and steadily in this era of rushing rivers.
05. Invest in character with kindness
Someone once said that kindness circulates like air. When you treat others with kindness, the energy of kindness will naturally return to you.
There is a farmer who can get an excellent harvest of corn every year.
Other neighbors often ask him for advice, and he is not stingy at all, not only sharing his excellent seeds, but also providing technical guidance for everyone for free.
Someone asked him, why is he so generous?
He said: "I am good to others, but I am also doing good to myself. If the neighbors plant low-quality seeds, it will also affect the quality of my corn during the process of pollination."
Life is an echo, and kindness is a reincarnation. When you help others, your kindness is also quietly benefiting yourself. If you invest in kindness, you will reap it; if you believe in kindness, you will see kindness.
