THE 2% INVESTMENT!

                                         


What is investment? Investment is something where you put your money into banks, businesses, properties, bonds, etc in the hope that you’ll earn profit from it, correct? But that is the financial definition of investment.


What is the meaning of investing in yourself? Well, it’s the same definition the only difference is an investment in finance is done with money while the investment in yourself is done with time!

Since childhood your teachers, parents, successful people all asked you to read, but why to read? Why is it so necessary to read all the time? Why can’t I just do that in school, and never again? Well, in that case, why can’t I work out for 4-5 months get in shape and never work out again? It doesn’t work like that, does it? If you stop working out then the fat and unnecessary stuff will in a way get stored in your body and you’ll go out of shape. The same happens with your brain! You are continuously consuming junk from social media and other things happening in your life. Reading a book is like working out for your brain!

I am not that good at math but this sure does make sense

To read a page on an average a person will take 3 minutes. So reading 10 pages will take 30 minutes. So out of the 1440 minutes (so much time right? Half of you didn’t even read the number) you have in a day, give only 30 minutes for reading and the other 1410 minutes do whatever you like. It’s easy, right? So if you just invest mere 2% of your ENTIRE DAY i.e 30 minutes you’ll end up reading 190 pages in 19 days, 300 pages in a month, and around more than 3000 pages in a year!

   

HOW TO TURN WHAT YOU JUST READ INTO REALITY 

Well I know reading can be hard, sometimes boring or just it gets difficult after some time to FOCUS. If it’s difficult for you to read for 30 minutes straight then you can try reading for 10 minutes 3 times a day.

And if you are new to reading or if it’s difficult for you then try reading comic books, graphic novels, or short stories! Try reading books which have simple vocabulary, easy to understand and are comparatively short, so that you finish quicker instead of finding a book boring and getting stuck on it.

COPY, EDIT & PASTE

LIFE IS BASED ON THESE THREE PRINCIPLES: COPY, EDIT AND PASTE. If you are going to create something different or create something new then this is not for you. COPYING Humans have the tendency to copy things. That’s why we have trends and terms like the ‘bandwagon effect.’ We see people eating a particular food and we feel like trying it too. How do gyms work? People see others working out, getting in shape and they get influenced, they get motivated and then, they COPY THEM. Everything that you are doing today has been done before. You, I, and everyone else are just copying. What you are learning right now has already been studied. The job you are at right now, somebody else had it, and after you, there’s someone else who’s going to have it. The things that you are doing today: a ton of other people have done it, are doing it or will be doing it. Who are you? A doctor, an engineer, a lawyer, a teacher, whoever you are, there are millions of others like you. So, find people...

BELIEVE it or Leave it.

You are passionate about something, you have got a vision and you can see yourself being successful at it, that’s the exact unfortunate time when people hop in. Now they might not have the same vision or the same perspective. And most of the time they’ll be stubborn and try to not understand your perspective. Or they are not that open-minded enough to understand it. And trust me; such people don’t want to be wrong so they’ll try their best to talk you out of it. They bring in pessimism because if you notice they’ll mostly tell you all the drawbacks and the negative points if you choose to go down that path you envision. They question everything you have planned and then answer it themselves by considering the most “realistic view” of it and eventually get you all demotivated.   So when you have goals just keep them to yourself. Don’t go telling people and asking opinions because you know too many cooks spoil the broth . See, you know yourself better than anyone, so you don’t ...

Ever felt like you don’t fit in? And other people just advice you to blend and try to fit in, well don’t take that advice. See, when you feel like you don’t fit in a particular surrounding then you are getting closer to knowing yourself and if you just accept that advice and blend, you’ll probably lose the only chance you had to discover yourself. If you don’t fit, stay alone because it’s better to feel lonely when alone rather than being among people and feeling the same. There’s a quote I follow which says, “ UNKNOWINGLY you become like people you surround yourselves with.” So if you don’t feel like people around you can help you grow then leave! Remember, a smart person living with idiots is only as powerful as the idiots but an idiot living with smart people is as powerful as them. After all, it’s up to you to decide whether you want to look great for some weeks around people who are below you and eventually with time let them drag you to their level or you choose to be the p...
