‘Investing in skills will make you the richest person in life’. – Darshan Singh

Investing in right prospects is one of the key factors behind success. People who invest right are the ones who enjoy success. Investing money to gain more money is not the only type of investment in this world. Investing in skill is investment in true sense. A person is recognized from his/her skills and not the amount of money he/she has earned.

It is not a coincidence that most skillful people are the ones who earn more money and gain more success. It is their skills and persistent hard work that made them what they are today. It is the investment they put in their skills that brings out the best in them.

Everyone has same amount of learning capability and chance at opportunities. Some might have less chance than others for sure. But each one of you has an equal chance at developing your talent. You must never lose the knack of investing in skills. A person who invests in skills is never short of opportunities.

Whenever you have free time, invest in learning something. Learn soft skills, etiquette, languages, sport, art, craft, calligraphy, cooking, yoga, dancing, painting, music, writing or whatever you like. There are so many things that you can learn in this world. Learning something that you don’t know or investing in these skills will surely help you personally and professionally. I am not a professional musician, but I can play three musical instruments. I am not a professional cook, but I can make international cuisines. I am not a linguistic, but I have learned the basics of Spanish and Malay.

Investing in skill doesn’t always mean learning things related to your profession. It often means learning things related to your passion. Both profession and passion must go on concurrently. If you are not following your passion alongside your profession, you are bound to get fail or you might get bored of your success.

Being successful in profession might give you a part of your satisfaction level but following your passion fulfills the gaps in your life. It brings eternal bliss to a person when he follows his passion. So, investing in skills must be your top priority in life. Learning different skills makes you a better person holistically. It serves as a catalyst to success.

Love and power to you

What is Independence?

Image
                                        Independence is letting your kids chose their career path. Independence is letting your daughter chose her better half. Independence is letting your wife make as many friends she wants. Independence is letting your spouse work on any project or career he/she wants. Independence is not pressurizing your spouse for having a baby. Independence is not interfering in your family member’s life. Independence is letting your kids live a life they want.  Every Indian is enjoying this day as we got freedom from the Britishers in 1947 on this very day. I am always excited on this day every year as my life is seriously connected with the word, independence. I have lived my life on my terms and had the ultimate freedom in making study and career choices. In choosing my better half and in choosing the way I want to live. My father is religio...

Read books

Image
                                   This is an activity that most millennial's lack these days. I am afraid that reading books will soon be a thing of the past. Books are your real friends. When you need inspiration, you can grab a book and read it. You learn greatly through books. I remember that I was never a good reader. I would read occasionally but in 2015 I got my hand on a book ‘Long walk to freedom’ by Nelson Mandela. The reason I bought that book was that I admired him greatly and always wanted to meet him in person. But this is the story of most of the people, we want to meet our heroes but it’s not always easy. Famous people hardly have time to meet others and some of my heroes are from 18 th and 19 th century. So, meeting them was out of question. Long walk to freedom is an autobiography of Nelson Mandela. It contains more than 700 pages and he has put his heart in that book. While r...

Get rid of excuses

Image
                                    Majority of people who fail in life are very good at making excuses. In your life you must be good in most of the things you do. But be a bad liar and dishonest in making excuses. People who find excuses to do certain things are enemies of their own. This also weakens the character of a person. People who often make excuses are very unreliable and you can’t depend on them for any important task or responsibility. The most common excuse that people make is "I don’t have time". You’ve got to take out time for everything. If you plan your time smartly, then you will be surprised to see that you have an ample amount of time in your life for everything. There can be situations in your life when you are intentionally avoiding a certain thing. Instead of finding a foolish excuse, just say no. Don’t try to use excuses to escape out of a situation. Be truthful and h...
