I have a friend who is really into crypto, like he trades crypto and forex, not like he's a novice, ofcourse he is doing pretty well with trades, and has being doing pretty good with demo account, till he decided to fund his real account and begin real time trading.
The most fascinating fact about Richard is his hunger for knowledge, Ever since i knew this guy dude has being paying for course as if he doesn't know a thing, most of the time those he paid to mentor him, mostly online classes turn out disappointing him, even after paying some $10, $20 in some cases, yet he is still willing to pay for more mentorship, yah i know the market is crazy but this guy really is so hungry to know more, every analysis, every strategy, every bit of information available, the last one he did after paying for a course, he is still planning on paying another $70 course, i'm like bro are you sure about this, cause if you convert that to our local currency is a lot of money.
It is his drive to know more, willing to sacrifice now for later, he has that tenacity to subdue immediate gratification for knowledge, now we live in a society were every young guy wants to show off, dress nice, smell good, with latest phones and gadget but Richard is so willing to go hungry just to pay for a course in trading, ...thats going for value, because he has something building upstairs, i rarely see guys like this.
Everything in life Response To Value
That is my mantra; i have looked at it squarely life only respond to those who have something to offer, WHAT CAN YOU DO what are the works of your hands, how diligent are you to perform, what are your abilities, how can you be of help to the society, your family, your community, your nation and the world at large....this and many more are like questions life is throwing at us, but we most times fail to realise it.
I have a friend who is an avid reader, sells books as well, now, this also a part of me that i'm willing to invest in, reading books, books contains the authors mind, experiences, exposures, knowledge, view points and perspective to life as well as reasonable nugget ans virtues to living a great life void of mistakes which they have made, offering guidance and counselling which you can't pay for, imaging reading a business book written by Donald Trump, that book gives an insight into his mind, the words there are valueable, on the real sense if you apply the principles in them you will likely succeed like he did in business, now for real if Donald Trump is to host a business conference how many of us would be able to pay for it?.
Living Today For Tomorrow
It so pained me when i see people just living for today, buying everything they so please, eating, drinking and living lavishly, instead of considering the rainy days, savings investing in self, i get that everyone has different perspective to life depending on their upbringing and background, that wouldn't take the place of value, creating value in themselves, so they remain relevant and on-demand, the world is ever changing, if care is not taken most things now will become invalueable in the future, when you invest in self you are simply placing your self on the current world rate to ride along the changes that come through.
No!!!.....
The GenZ generation are all out for the big life, consuming everything that comes their way ...no blue print or take of tomorrow, no value whatsoever, spending more time on social media not getting anything in return, and i often wonder what are the set of values this generation will handover to the next!...
The best investment is to invest in yourself, The more you learn, the more you Earn
