Invest of our time

Just think about how we mean towards our money: if someone on the street asks for some small money , we're reluctant to give it to him/her.  Why,  wholesale jerseys, because we earned it with sweat. There's no way we're giving a 30% tip for a normal dining experience. And so on.

But , have you ever noticed that so many of us just waste our time wildly? We throw it away every day even without our reckon. I know I do unless I'm careful. What helps me to not to waste time is to see it as an investment, and to keep track of the returns I get for my investment.

This idea has led me to recognize that some things offer incredible immediate return on investment: a night spent learning a new song on my preferred instruments, for example, gives me a lifetime of being able to play that song. That's an incredible return. Other investments are more like low-interest, high security, long-term investments: going to the gym, eating right, etc. Some, like reading good books, are kind of a combination of both.
But many activities are worthless from an investment perspective: whatever benefit they seem to give doesn't last any longer than the activity itself."Price is what we pay. Value is what we get." - Warren Buffett. This applies to everything: money, cheap mlb hats, relationships, time. Knowing this may change our lives.
