Business 101: Becoming an Investor.

What is one of the key disciplines that any successful corporation practises? INVESTING. Every business relies on investing for success, and for the incredibly successful businesses they invest like crazy; in R&D, and product lines. Heck, even our own economy relies on investors in order to grow. So why not be an investor. Probably the first and almost immediate objection to this suggestion is "I don't have money to invest." And I for one, am completely in agreements with that. However, why not invest the one resource that you always have at your disposal - TIME. That's right. Invest your time. Ah, suddenly it seems so obvious now doesn't it, but would you like to guess on how many people actually overlook this important fact? (By the way, this is can well be a lecture on time management). And since all investment have the dominant factor of Time in them, why not begin by turning your focus on this one incredible resource and use it to your personal investment pursuits...
This thought actually hit me when I thought about what one of my friends (whose an amazing poet by the way, and might be reading this) is busy with, which is being involved in foreign exchange investing. It made me wonder that, "well, since I don't have enough money to take part in such an endeavour yet, how can I still become an investor ? How can I leverage things so as to get better money trends?" And then it hit me - if time is money, (but I don't have money), surely  then I can use what I have to leverage things to create money. Another way to look at is, “how can I lay foundations in order to allow money to begin flowing into my experience?” And the answer was simple, Leverage your time. No use in wasting it on wishing for more money before you can begin to be an investor. Use it as your reason to become one. A foreign trader of time! That sounds cool don't you think.
Time is the most revered yet often the most squandered of our resources. It is the universal currency which its value is dependent upon the possessor. In one of my earlier articles I suggested how important it is that you begin to see yourself as the most valuable asset in the most important company called life. Therefore, seek to be an incredible investor in this corporation and invest your resource wisely . Begin to deliberately tap in and develop investment skills and start playing the game of economics by investing in your own corporation wisely. You don't need money. In fact money will be the product of your investment with your time... Look to see where and how your investment is being used. Successful businesses and investors understand that they need to invest in assets and projects that have high impact and thus will generate the highest returns possible. What kind of projects and assets are you investing on? Where does your universal currency go?
Whether its business, personal, or professional, the greatest investment is with your time; the more time you invest on worthy projects, the more impressive returns you will get. You have everything you need now to create any amount of abundance that you desire: time and your Me Inc. And with these two consistently in place, let's start investing and trading wisely. "Wealth is the product of a man's ability to think."
Be an investor.

FAITH

Is there ever a time where its reasonable to have faith? Like really. When is it reasonable to have faith? Because if you think about it, whenever its reasonable to have faith it is no longer faith but just rationalisation.. When you have reasons to have faith its just that, reasons. Faith has no reason either than you really wanting something. Faith is not based on any concrete evidence, ever. Faith is the decision of a mind to maintain a disciplined positive expectation of a desired outcome.. And most of us fail in this because our faith fluctuates.. Usually we want reasons to have faith.. The most interesting part in life is that most of who we desire to be is dependant on faith. Just choosing to expect the best and that is independent of any religious beliefs or philosophy. Its a consistent act of a person to choose faith over fear, fear over not having concrete evidence to back it up. Faith is the complete surrender of the need to control things and to have it all f...

A MAN CAN CHOOSE TO BE ANYTHING

"A man can choose to be anything. He can partake in, be a part of anything that he wants to. He can become a beast, he can become a god. He can do anything." This thought keeps reappearing in all the writings of man. It states that we become what we choose to become whether we realise it or not. This is so true because as I grow older, I notice just how broad my being is. BEING : the continuous movement of becoming!! As a high school pupil I only saw myself as a math and science student whose aim was to be a master of science and nothing more. And then in  first year varsity I noticed my perception   grew   from a science student to one whose aim was to be a respectable chemical engineering professional, then suddenly I noticed that not only do I love science, but I have a proclivity for some business,  philosophy and even writing who knew!! And then that grew to psychology, which grew to  philosophy and spirituality and all of this my high-school-year old...

SIGNIFICANT FIGURES

On the bus to work I was busy go through my budget this month in my head. And as I was doing that, I was thinking of how we always have to make arrangements for unforeseen expenses, so I was thinking along the line of "roughly it will cost me this much." However as I had that thought another then just came up, and that was there are no insignificant numbers. Numbers that have no bearing to the total sum whatsoever. As an engineering student in my first year I got introduced to an unfamiliar term, "significant figures", quite frankly I am surprised I still remember this.In engineering and science we have to account for the significant decimals places that are there in a number. (Google this). For example if a number has the highest numbers of significant figures meaning more numbers after the decimal we take that as the numbers of significant figures we must round of to. So if you have a number that is 2.0003, those zeroes are significant because they can/will...
