Topic: When Self-investment beats every form of investment (Read 467 times)

My brother you don talk am finish, this thread quality too much. No be just even on academic aspect alone. Anything wey you decide to do for this life and you carry am serious you must excel. Make I bring example wey happen to me back in my secondary school days, I been de Jss 3 then, so my result de always de around average so I needed to improve, I wanted to improve because my popsy say if I carry between 1-5 him go buy me bicycle. So them get this boy wey de always carry between 1-3 for my class, so I reason am say if I wan carry between 1-5 I need to make am my friend so we go de do things together and I go know how him take de do am to de carry that number.

To be sincere I been think say the boy sabi book naturally, but as I start de waka with de boy I come know say no be small read this boy de read everyday. We de close around 1pm, from there this boy go enter extra moral lessons around 2pm come close around 4pm, then him go enter houx, again later that same day for night this boy de do night lesson for one hour for night 8pm-9pm na more like revision of Watin dem teach us that day for school. So just imagine a teenage boy putting in all these work in secondary school how em no go excel. Honestly my parent no fit afford extra moral lesson, so I was decide say I go de do revision by myself for night and anywhere wey I no understand I go call my brother or mom make dem help me out, I did this truout that term and my result at de end of the term Improved so much, I no see between 1-5 carry but I carry 7th that term, then I come get to know say if u put in extra work for anything wey you de do you must de ahead of others.

So in life, if you de into anything serious, try de put in extra work, research further, make enquires and believe me you will excel so much further. There is a popular saying which goes “ anything that is worth doing is worth doing well” so always try to build yourself, make yourself worthy and you will see how important you will be in the society. So once again this thread is so much educative. So put it to yourself today and say whatever I’m doing today I will make my self more better and see where you will be in the next few years.

Op, your thread is very clear and nice no doubt but I think most of these big companies or film you mentioned do not invest in their senior staff but rather they gave them the opportunity to prove what they knew or their skills before they started giving them some privilege and their also people who are senior staff by favoritism and some of these persons don't know anything that's why someone will apply for industrial training (IT) at the end of the training you don't have anything to go home with unless during the training you were striving to acquire one or two.

However,  engaging in relevant stuff outside what we are doing in this forum is very important and necessary. It must not be cryptocurrency but anything which can generate income at the of the day such that when need to invest in crypto arise you use the income to invest. Learning crypto related course will be also nice since your are already in crypto, it will help you become expert in this forum.

I really think self investment is quite different from other sources of investment, self investment has helps allot of people that invest and trade online let me take for instance; if you invest 100k in your palmpay wallet invest it annually and see what you will get, annual income up to 20% percent annual percentage rates.

Me self follow support you for this talk wey u talk so because as we dey like this, we dey always want mk person first tell us to do this or dat before we go know or before we go realize say we fit do this thing or we dey good at doing this thing, so before we go dey want or dey complain say we no dey progress, mk we first know our worth and make we first dey use to ourselves and to the society before we go dey want opportunity to come to us because now as things be so, if no make any move, others go just march u pass. So mk we first invest in ourselves before investing or going for other investments.

Dem say Na Wattin you get Na you go fit give, person wey no get anything to offer Na because e never develop emself. And e dey very mandatory say we supposed work on ourselves to produce the best versions of ourselves. One book wey I read say " thousands of persons dey wait for you to develop your potential make them benefit from am. Them still talk say when person no know the importance of something e go fit abuse am anyhow, and that Na true  if you no know how important wey your live be, you go fit just decide to live life anyhow, our people say anywhere belle face Na road. That kind lifestyle Na very bad one wey no dey important for the society at all, especially when you form your own interpretation of the quote.

We earn profits daily, weekly and monthly depending on the form of task we involved ourselves in. Health comes first before we can sit down and discuss about investment in valuable properties. We ensure to take good care of our health, abstain from hard drugs and doing our best to visits the doctor if any complications arises. We just have one life and we should do our best to look after it, besides we have other responsibilities to take good care of and providing the basic needs of our loved ones and ourselves as well.

The importance of self development cannot be under estimated. Just like the saying always go that, the future belong to those who truly prepares for it. No matter how competitive the world has become there will always be opportunities for those who take time to invest in themselves. If you don't invest in personal development, you will soon be knock out of demand and when you are not in demand it simply means that you ain't being productive again and that's a very bad situation to be. In all we do let's take personal development very seriously.

In the World of advancement today, investment is considered in a core leading to scale through the economy. Talking about investing, it is not only about funding to make financial Interest in returns at the main time, this is about how resourceful you can subject your capabilities to offer solutions to the societies and also, how you can be creative enough to manipulate over critical situations. So at a prior of yourself becoming a warmly tool, you'd become unjust and an essential material hopefully to the area of life which your possession capacities are demanded.
We can always chase after impacting ourselves in a productive wills while it attracts us with the postures of being formidable persons.
This very attribute is lucrative enough with the remarks of beating a frowning economy and fetches us confidential reliabilities.

 Self investment is very important to humanity to embrace first before thinking of other investments because, I have seen many people who don't want to take good care of their health but their investments are everywhere in the country but they are battling with their health right now because they didn't invest in their self first.

I have seen many people who invested huge amount of money just to acquire knowledge on a particular business and, they are perfectly doing well in their businesses because, they know what they are doing that is bringing more customers to their business to continue earning profits daily.

Self- investment is really one of the great achievement in life but I believe it's crucial to understand that self-investment encompasses more than just financial gain or professional achievement. Investing in your relationships, interests, and passions is also important. Engaging in activities that make you happy, exploring your interests, and spending time with loved ones are all examples of self-investment. Actually, you may find that doing these things increases your success and productivity in other spheres of your life. We are more likely to be driven and effective in other areas of our lives when we feel content and joyful. Additionally, investing in your knowledge, talents, and abilities can open up new doors and result in a fulfilling existence. This is one of the area of personal development.

No be small update dey dis forum like this o, anybody wey carry eye down dey Facebook things wey dey sup for the industry and follow am up jejely and wayorly go meet up big time. Just like wetin you talk about de good and bad, na so e be for everywhere o, as e dey sweet na so e dey better too but one thing wey me I dey tell people be say make Dem work hard experience de sweet side first so dat even when we encounter de bad or ugly side we go dey happy say at least say we don enjoy small too.

de tins wey dey draw us back for dis country na, lack of quality update and hoarding of update, person go see where tins dey happen him go just keep am to himself dey enjoy alone. One tin wey I dey always tell people be say no need to dey feel bossy for dis life at all, if you get better update wey go elevate men just try put Dem through but make e no be any and anyhow person o, make sure say na person wey get good sense of belonging wey you dey show road no be to carry person wey fit put you for problem.

All dis Oyibo people Dem no too dey better than us like dat o, the tin be say Dem dey circulate their wealth to their loved ones Dem naim be why e dey like say Dem better pass us. So make we bring our mind to positive ideas Den together we go make tins easy for one another.

time don reach wen e be say we no need to depend on our government again, now na de time for self acquisition and investment because no normally, if you no put food for your table no body go help you at all o, so like Oyibo man talk say make we make "Hay wen de sun is shining" so as e dey hot make we follow up dey hussle wit others so dat we no go dey left behind.

my boss,  this talks wey you talk naw naw naw really make big means for person wey dey get your point. This forum na big place wen we get the access to any new things wey they happen around the world, day and night this forum dey active because as now na night for Nigeria na so e be say time for other countries.
No be only Nigerians them dey here that's why this forum dey active for full 24/7 every year. Looking from the past, this forum has been in existence many years ago without any issues.
Here na place to get any latest news on crypto currency, if person really dey serious to gain knowledge about Bitcoin investment na here be the legit place, na make this forum no be for children.

Every traveling abroad does not mean one will be make it and while some in the end will just be a laborer or a taxi driver even if they had certificate though they can still be taking care of their families in Nigeria.
Others who understands the essence of self development go there and actually dominate them.
I someone recently spoke about this, He said He can't go abroad to be a laborer when he has a certificate and can get a better life if he do well there


I Thank God for this forum, knowledge is power and having knowledge of the truth is found here but I know some people may have criticism about it not being the same as old time (since I have seen some of this online) but one thing will forever remain which is the vast knowledge it holds and continue to hold which is the end is the main essence of BTT.

In fact in anything one is interested in, I would advise he/she to find forum like bitcointalk in that area of their interest, in order to have true knowledge of their interests.

Especially in this crypto space, being updated is highly important especially in the areas of security because in the end you take full responsibility on what happens to your coin.

Self investment is the reason you'll make it in other forms of investment so it's not sometimes that should be ignored, there's no one that have made it in life that didn't investment in improving themselves first through self investments. A person that won the lottery will misuse the money if he hasn't invested in himself before receiving that cash prize. As intellectual humans beings we have to be prepared for success and investing in ourselves is the perfect way to start that preparation. Nothing bad for self investment, other investments fit get their bad side but you dey see self investment, e no get any bad thing wey you go fit point say na the disadvantage be that. Self investment go improve your life so na better thing for us to do.


Being active regularly on the forum alone na better self investment because of the information dem wey full here. I dey stay this forum for months and never look outside yet I go dey upto date with any matters wey dey sup for the industry. We no suppose to dey use this forum play as e get everything wey we need to dey successful for this industry. Na just say as the good information dey na so the bad ones too dey so as we dey see dem make we no juts digest am but make sure say na better information wey we dey chop first before digesting am.

Alot of means dey online to keep ourselves to date with things wey dey happen and investing in ourselves. As new trends dey come out make we familiarized ourselves with them so we fit dem get advantages when we dey in need of am and no dey only depend on the old informations/things wey dey.

I completely agree with you @op in my own term I will call it personal capital development which has to do with adding value to what ever you are doing as well as being very open minded in venturing in to acquiring new ideas and opportunity considering the high level of development and civilisational advancement, without being updated with the new revolutions may possibly retard ones knowledge about  the things you know before and now. It is best balancing up knowledge as long side as things are changing globally in order to function more effectively and become more useful to yourself and the entire society.

Your advice is timely and appropriate, this reminds me of some guys I know to be into cryptocurrency before I could even grab the meaning of bitcoins. This guys made a lot of money from bitcoins especially the bull run after halving. The post I keep seeing from them back then is about travelling from place to place because the money is available. Some people do not have money management skills and that is there major draw back.

This is one of the best thread concept I have come across in the this local board, self investment is the best just as the OP has said expecially in a country like Nigeria where we have some many graduates.

Self investment increases your confidence in the society expecially when it comes to your field of skill. Now that technology has taken all over the global learning some new important and lucrative skill to your self is also an added advantage expecially as a graduate because what firms and other companies needs now may not be your certificate but your sabificate that is what you know or what you can do.

In life, there is nothing better than having knowledge. Invest in knowledge and you will see yourself going forward. Example are some people complaining that they are leaving Nigeria, that abroad is better with more opportunities, but they do not think that as bad as Nigeria is, there are many successful people. I do not against someone to travel because with proper plan, but knowledge is important in anything we do in life because it can help us to become exposed and also know the right thing to do no matter where we are. It is good not to think like the common people.

Much lesson on this thread, I found it interesting because many don't know that self improvement matter allot mostly now the globe is changing on daily basis some person believe what they know in the past can carry them all through. Typical example of an unimproved person can be a like electric fan rotating when switch off may not stop immediately but will gradually stop within a shorter time interval,
Once one failed to improve but in skill, knowledge or any aspects of life it will gets to a point your he/her service will not be need in the society as it becomes obsolete. I think this thread is to strengthen me to do more in building my self inorder to stand fit at anytime called upon.

My brother, you are really on point, most people don't know how Important it is to invest in your self, because by doing so, you become relevant to not just your employer, but to also the society at large.

Most people in the past have made the mistakes of invested in someone else's and be expecting a reward or a dividend from that person, hoping that they will reap the rewards after that, but at the end of it all, they will get disappointed by the person they have high hopes on, they actually don't know that nothing beats self investment.

No be lie, in order to make progress for life and comot for di level of average performers, person suppose repackage imsef, and come position for a better level to de receive extra recommendations renumeration. As you lay your bed na so you go sleep ontop am, so if person go fit to go di extra mile to better demsef in the areas of dem specializations, dat extra nitch de go a long way to stand di person out for greatness. Di moment wey person think say dem don arrive, na dat time dem go begin to go down, because dem go de lazy to de innovative and upgrade to di next level. If you see people wey de make am for di work wey dem de do, you go see say e get extra touch wey dem de give wey di average person for dem field of work no fit give.

Well spoken, OP, you have made it clear for better understanding. And i am more interested in the part where you said we should put focus into learning one or more lucrative skills that we can be good at in due time. For me, i see the need to go into skills that tally with my passion for cryptocurrency, such as blockchain development. So that  should be what everyone else does. There are many skills that are related to cryptocurrency.

Self investment increases productivity and enhances efficiency in learning. One good way we can invest in ourselves is to participate in industrial training, go for skill acquisition, and meet people who are better than us in that field of specialty.

I completely agree with your points investing in your self to acquire and gain more knowledge is very crucial, especially in this country most graduates after they graduate they feel they have arrived but there is no arrival in learning. The  world 🌎 is evolving every day and new ideas are borne and technology etc.. are advancing, we should should also advance in enhancing our value by investing in ourselves by continuously learning and acquiring new skills. Investing in ourselves Is an ongoing process that wil help us stay ahead in our careers and personal lives.

Self-investment makes you creative and finding profound solutions to issues. By investing in ourselves we develop a wider perspective, gain new knowledge and acquire diverse skills. This allows us to approach problems from different angles and think outside the box. When we invest in our personal growth, we become more adaptable, innovative and open to take look at uncommon solutions. Whether it's through learning, or improving our communication skills, self-investment provides creativity and equips us to tackle challenges with fresh ideas and insights. So by investing in ourselves, we are not only enhancing in our own abilities but also become valuable contributors to finding solutions to the issues we face in the world.

No be small matter you yarn for here oh!
Investing into self get plenty advantages when fit make us stand out for anywhere we find ourselves. If you don ever talk with person when take up different courses and programs, you go observe how matured him thought process de because e get plenty things when you go learn about life from taking up courses.

Na after I do my  HSE programme, come see the way e take help my personal life regarding matters of safety I take know how important and valuable  self development is.

 The funny thing be say if you go out for interviews, what most companies will look out for isn't even how good you are in the field you studied because they already know how bad our educational system is but they will look out for those extra knowledge you're able to get outside of your field and how you're able to communicate your point effectively to them which is very much in like with what you're trying to point out.

This is a top notched articulated fact.

These are inevitable truth you said here I totally concur to it  because it's the bedrock if every wealth success in human life

It's observed that one success end where it's level of knowledge end, the more increments in self seeking knowledge so it's in wealth.

 No be lie wey you yarn for this place and I follow put mouth day sense full this talk. As we no fit give wetin we no get, e good say before we add value to any other thing, make we fes get value for ourselves reason be say so that we no go dey stuck in one area or pattern of doing things.
On a regular, the world dey evolve and we no go wan wait say make the opportunity come meet us fes before we learn one or two skills. For this country wey we no fit rely on wetin we government wan give us, when we don invest on ourselves, we become valuable material sotey our services go dey needed for even obodo away  .
 I know of a friend wey tell me say e biggest fear na to dey stuck in one area of knowledge and I see sense for that talk because everyday, new things dey dey discovered and what if that your area of expertise come wash, which relevance you wan be to the country or world again?

Self improvement is one key area to work on regularly if anyone wants to increase their wealth and have more value in this life. Self investment as it is will require one to be very particular about this aspect of themselves and would entail discipline of some form to keep up.

Still, one can't just improve themselves on just any field, if not one would seem like a paper tossed about by wind and without any direction.
 A good investment strategy in oneself should include improvement on old ideas or expansion on the ideas and skill set one already has, research, exercise and good rest with good sleep.
Soonest, one might just become more valuable than the staffs of these multinationals that pay so heavily to impart new knowledge in their staff's.

Based on the articles I've read today on this forum and other platforms, I can confidently say that this thread stands out as one of the best I've come across. It excels in its ability to relate to the reader and in fostering self-confidence and communication skills, which are crucial in the 21st century. In this era, effective communication is paramount because no matter how brilliant an idea is, if it cannot be effectively communicated, it will not succeed. Ideas remain dormant until they are properly expressed.

Knowledge is readily available on the internet, and leveraging AI tools has made learning and skill development more accessible. It's essential to continuously learn, unlearn, and relearn relevant skills to stay relevant in our ever-changing world. With the rise of artificial intelligence and machine learning, it's increasingly important for creative minds to adapt and learn. Failing to do so makes it easier to be influenced by misinformation or filter out valuable information. Therefore, continuous learning remains the best course of action in 2024.

Baba you too much, e don Tay wey my eye see this kind of quality and informative post, even if say no be Bitcoin related topic, wey make am be off topic, yet this is one of the best the local board has had in a while, thumbs up bro, smerit no dey if not I for dash you. This topic na one vital part outside this forum wey we no suppose to play with, especially those wey get the dream to work for multinationals and to build their reputation and worth. Normally if you take some short courses add to your certificate, you dey get upper hand pass person wey just carry em certificate go apply for work, na this wisdom na some persons don learn wey make them dey take any possible related to their field, because when una present una CV e go dey very obvious say you use your time do better thing than to just carry on certificate go apply for work. So we must work on ourselves even if we no dey plan to use am find work, one dey opportunity fit come from somewhere.

Currently for my community, one company just Burt out say dem don discover, gas for our land. And as I talk you so, Dem don dey set up the place wey Dem go plant rig, and them come give community slots for people to work there, those wey dey certified, Dem go pay them as skilled workers while those without skill na non skilled worker. And skilled worker money come high pass non skilled worker so. Person wey study electrical engineering sef wey do extra safety course dey opportuned to work as safety  personnel sef.

I love the concept of this thread so much, you're very much in line with my ideas on how to improve ourselves in the forum and both outside. if we watch very well here in the forum must of the successful members of the forum have an extra Skil that is making them more prominent and reliant to an extent that if they leave for a week we all notice there absence. Most have taking their time to learn communication skills, Coding/Programming languages that are some how related to Bitcoin knowledge and as such we can see how well they communicate there knowledge.

Outside the forum it's must likely to be people with extraordinary skills that do more well than those who are dependant only one ordinary knowledge, it very much paramount to have a good knowledge that could help push you more in any of your career. our thinking shouldn't be only how to invest and make profit as you rightly said we should also think of how to improve ourselves but physically by working out for good health and mental to increase our knowledge from the ordinary to extraordinary knowledge.

Have you wondered why companies like NLNG, AGIP, and other big multinationals spend a lot of resources on protecting and safeguarding their senior staff? It's basically because they've invested a lot into training and equipping them with updated knowledge that makes them a valuable asset to the company. They understand how important investing in their staff is and so they would normally send them for regular seminars, workshops, and symposiums just to increase their staff value.

As a person, this is also a very important area we shouldn't neglect regardless of how pressing our expenses are. Occasionally, we must take basic courses on effective communication, public speaking, good writing skills, the art of networking, and lots of others including advanced courses that relate to the field we are into. With the Advent of AI and other powerful technology, to remain relevant in your workplace demands you to become intentional about how much time you invest into yourself.

I know we are bitcoinner and by our niche, our discussions have always revolved around investing in Bitcoin using the best strategies possible but while we do this it's necessary we set out a portion of our earnings into paying for courses and seminars that will keep us updated with the relevant skills both in our workplace and in the society. Good enough, we've got online learning platforms like Coursera, edX, udemy, SkillShare, etc which we can register and improve ourselves in the comfort of our homes by paying a small amount

merely following up on conversations in the forum, has gone a long way to improve my knowledge of the crypto ecosystem and you can be sure that if you take investing in yourself seriously, you will always be found relevant and regardless of the need to lay off workers in your workplace, you won't have a course to fear.
