Question

Investing in yourself

Figuring out how to invest your money can be a dif?ficult task. This is something that you will want to learn how to do.

9 Things that will improve your knowledge, skills or health are all great investments. However, be?fore you start, you need to be clear about what you will gain out of doing all of these things.

You may think investing in yourself means inves?ting in your education. 10 . There are some other things you can do, such as buying a gym membership or learning a new skill.

So what are some specific things you can do? 11 . Reading books can really expand your mind and allow you to learn different skills and gain knowledge. I'm talking about the books where you will actually learn a new skill, not fiction books.

You can also take courses and attend seminars. These programmes are taught by people with a high level of knowledge or skill. 12 Only in this way can you avoid being fooled by some sales presentation.

Moreover, investing in yourself is a safe way to keep your money. Although a savings account is seen as the most secure investment, that isn't 100% safe. Even if you never experience your bank closing down, the return is little when inflation(通货膨胀)is taken into con?sideration. 13 But over time, they will show up in terms of your happiness level as well as your level of success.

A.    This is just one way.

B.    The benefits will stay with you.

C.    If you aren't a reader, you should start with that.

D.    The more you do this, the more valuable you will be.

E.    Of course, you need to do some research before in?vesting.

F.    The best way to invest your money is to invest it in yourself.

G.    When you invest in yourself, you may not see gains right away.
