Value and invest in yourself

If you are into financial investment, you’re probably very
familiar with Mr. Warren Buffet (1951–present). He is the most
successful investor in the world. His investment strategies are
legendary and many people seek to learn after him.
Even more respectable, he pledged to give away 99% of his wealth
(more than $30 billions at the time of the pledge in 2006) to
non-profit foundations, mostly to Bill Gate’s Foundation.
Mr. Buffet often travels to universities to give speeches to
educate and motivate students. Here is one of his speeches to
teach us the value of our body, to invest in ourselves, in
education for a great future.

/>that a Genie offers you any car in the world. The catch is
that
it is the only car you will ever own. What would you do?
You would read the manual ten times, change the oil twice as
often as required, and you would take fastidious care so that
that car remained the car of your dreams forever.
Think about what this tells you about your body.
You get only one mind and one body–the same ones you will have
at 20, 40, 60, etc.
Take care of them and maximize their potential. It will be too
late to take care of your body and mind (and car) later on. You
can maintain them, but it is hard or impossible to undo big
mistakes or negligence later on. You do not want to end up with
a wreck on your hands.
Your main asset in life is
yourself.[right]

Treat yourself as a valuable asset. I often explain to students
that I would be willing to pay today for a percentage of the
future earnings of good students.
If you value yourself, and invest in yourself, you will be worth
a great deal through out your lifetime, both to yourself and to
your community.
