Investments

Part 2. Why are all people investors?

• Why our lives are made up of decisions
• What is a resource
• What is investment in the broadest sense

Making any decision requires resources and involves risks. Just as this text may not meet your expectations and the time spent, so any action in life may turn out to be erroneous.
At the same time, resources can be spent on small decisions that seem to us not a significant routine.
For example, Steve Jobs, who always wore the same jeans and a black sweater. This form of clothing allowed the founder of Apple to avoid wasting energy on daily wardrobe selection. Thus, resources, albeit not material ones, are spent on any decision.
Sometimes our decisions are deals when it comes to going to the store where you are going to buy a robotic vacuum cleaner, for example. You risk money but in return you can get an effective household assistant. Depending on how satisfied you are with the purchase, your transaction may seem like a good or bad waste of resources, in other words, investments.
Now let's imagine that you are going to the cinema to watch a film by your favorite director. It seems to you that an exciting viewing awaits you, but the maestro decided to experiment with a new genre and you suddenly lose time and money.
At this stage, you are faced with an unsuccessful investment, but have gained useful experience that information about the past does not guarantee a good result in the future.

Let's look at the reverse of the outcome when the resource investment is successful.
For example, after graduating from high school, you go to university and get an interesting specialty that will then allow you to earn a living. You have spent time and earned income in the form of professional skills. Sounds like a good investment, doesn't it?
And now let's imagine that someone, for example, a lost drunkard, gets tired of remembering the way to the house and starts moving in a random direction. Such tactics will relieve him of mental load, but there is a risk of never getting to the point. As a result q refusal to make decisions on one's own is. appointment decision
As a result, investments are our whole life. You have already invested when you attended educational institutions, went to the gym, made doctor's appointments, went on vacation, and even when you decided there was nothing to do.

Where can resources be invested?

• education
• family
• health
• emotions
• an experience
• financial assets

The main problem is that most of the resources at our disposal are finite.
We cannot watch all the films in the cinema in one evening, because the amount of time in a day is limited, we will not be able to get all the professions in the world, since the body has its own limit and we will not be able to buy the entire range of vacuum cleaner robots, since it is expensive.
It turns out that if we spend resources and want to get something in return, we must act wisely: - to study the vacuum cleaner swarm market, read movie reviews before going to the cinema, learn about career prospects before choosing a profession, so we can improve the quality of decisions made and more likely to achieve goals.
