The best age in this life is between 25 and 55 years old.
Because, before the age of 25, you may not be very mature, some things are not clear, and some ideals are not clear. And after the age of 25, you will understand the meaning of life and the preciousness of time, and start to take responsibility for your own life.
Life is a self-cultivation. 25-55 years old, be sure to invest in yourself!
1. Invest in your abilities
Ability is a person's core competitiveness. So, you have to invest in capacity. When you become more capable, you have more bargaining power. The core is: looking inward, looking outward, and practicing things.
What is Inward Seeking?
It is to take the initiative to input and thus improve one's ability. For example, if you are a manager, you feel that you are unable to lead the team, and you will not be able to achieve performance, and you will be under great pressure every day.
Look outward
What is Outward-looking? It's about breaking out of your comfort zone and talking to outside experts. When many people encounter problems, they always like to ponder alone, feeling that the problems they encounter are unique and can only be solved by themselves. As Lei Jun said: "In fact, most of your problems have been encountered by others, and they have all been solved, and there are even standard answers." You just have to ask. ”
Practice
There is a huge gap between knowing and doing. How to cross? It's about practicing deliberately and then working on it day in and day out. The so-called "naïve practice" is the practice of aimlessly, mechanically, and finally reduced to low-level repetition. If you want to surpass low-level repetition, you need to develop the habit of reviewing and improving in the process of doing things. Seeking inward, looking outward, and practicing can help us improve our abilities.
2. Investment hobbies
Love, often releases a lot of power. In fact, more than half of people's core competitiveness comes from important but not urgent things. Jobs' personal experience illustrates this point. Steve Jobs designed it on the computer, and the beautiful printed word appeared on Apple.
So when you're not so busy, you can also find something you're interested in and invest time in it. Although it may not be able to help you in the short term, with the deepening of research, it is likely that you will have a second curve and be able to have an "after-sleep income". Doing what you love may only bring us some sense of accomplishment for the time being, but it is likely to play a very crucial role in connecting them at some point in the future. Life can also feed back work.
3. Investment credit
Some people say that common sense is like air, although you can't feel it, but you can't feel it, but you can't do it. However, what is more like air than common sense is actually trust. It's easy to destroy trust, once is enough. And trustworthy is a person's hole card. How do you invest in credit? That is, you have to have principles and bottom lines.
Also, be reliable. In the workplace, to be specific, it is: everything has an explanation, everything has a fall, and everything has an echo. You can complete the tasks assigned by the leader on time. You have promised others what they have done. You don't need to be reminded by others, you can also consciously do things well at the specified time node, and even exceed the expectations of the leader.
If you can't deliver high-quality results, you'll also take the initiative to learn or coordinate resources until the problem is resolved. If you can't do something, you will also give positive feedback, ask the leader for help, and provide some reference plans for the leader. Credit is a cumulative process, which is accumulated from small things.
4. Invest in health
A healthy body is always the most important thing. Only when you are healthy can you have the opportunity to create countless "0s" behind "1" and realize the value of your life. So when it comes, don't take a revenge break.
In fact, many people will take a revenge break. I am usually busy and tired at work, but on weekends, I naturally want to relax. For example, when playing a game, play in the dark. Watching the drama, just watch him for two nights and three days, and when you sleep, you sleep with him three poles a day. The self-control in daily work and study is also briefly released at this moment.
Although it seemed to be resting, it turned out to be more and more tired. Revenge rest is very detrimental to physical health. And, by the time you go to work on Monday, you're not in a good shape. So I advise you to be sure to develop good habits. In the first 30 years of life, you develop habits, and in the last 30 years of life, habits shape you.
So on weekends, you must develop good habits, allocate a certain amount of time, and maintain a moderate level of exercise. For example, every week whenever I have time, I go out for a run and climb a mountain, just to train my strength and have a good body. I'm in good health, and I'm interested in everything.
Finally, to sum up, the best investment is to invest in yourself. I suggest that you invest in ability, hobbies, credit, and body.
