Three Most Important Investments I Learned Over 15 Years!
The title mentions investment, and you might think I'm going to talk about how to buy funds or properties. But today, I want to share my personal experiences and insights gained over the past 15 years.
Because life is an investment!
I'd like to share a real-life example from my time at Huawei. There were two team leaders in my department - Leader A, who had been with the company for a long time and seemed content with his current role; and Leader B, who was very hardworking and ambitious.
Leader A didn't want to work overtime and focused on managing his family finances instead. He bought multiple properties in Shenzhen and earned significant passive income. On the other hand, Leader B worked tirelessly, sacrificing his personal life for career advancement. Eventually, he became a team leader, even surpassing Leader A.
Years later, when we discussed these two leaders again, you know what their difference was? I'll tell you - it's about how they approached life.
Leader A had time to manage his family finances and watched his children thrive. They even got accepted into a prestigious university. Meanwhile, Leader B had little time for his family due to his demanding work schedule, which affected their relationship.
So, the question is: Which path do you want to take? Do you want to be like Leader A or Leader B?
The answer is clear: All labor is meaningless unless it leads to a better life. As an experienced investor, I've learned that there are three most important investments in life.
Todays' summary focuses on these three areas and hopes they will be helpful to you. Don't stop investing in yourself!
The first investment is investing in your brain, always keeping your cognitive abilities refreshed.
The biggest difference between people is their cognition. Cognition is the manifestation of all your wealth, and this is an eternal truth.
The second investment is investing in your original capital.
This means letting your money work for you, learning to use leverage to amplify your returns. This is crucial.
Even with a high salary from a large company like Huawei, my labor income was far less than the passive income I earned through investing.
The third investment is investing in your children. Remember, your children are your greatest asset.
If you raise your children to be successful, even if you fail elsewhere, it's still a success. But if you fail to educate them, no matter how successful you are elsewhere, it's still a failure.
A company can go bankrupt and recover, but a person's education failure is irreversible. The saying "children come from me" means they don't exist for my sake; rather, I exist for theirs.
The insights shared above are based on my experiences as an old soldier in the trenches of large companies and investment institutions, as well as my expertise as a professional investor.
