There are two big things in life that are extremely valuable. Most people focus on the first thing – and neglect the second. As a result, they enter old age and die full of regret. No matter what age you are, you can make this big change in your life, starting today.
The two things are:
- Money
- Time
Time is infinitely more valuable than money. Why? Because it is limited.
You can make money back after losing it.
But once you lose time… it’s gone forever.
Most people waste their time.
Watching television. Movies. Sports. Playing games. And other forms of mindless entertainment.
Instead of chasing after their dreams in life. And making them come true.
And probably, one of the biggest wastes of time is working a job that you hate for 40 years. Most people do not like their jobs; it is forced labour aka slavery.
Unfortunately, most people don’t realise this.
The biggest lesson that I learned from the book Rich Dad Poor Dad is that the poor spend their money on liabilities. The rich spend their money on assets.
A liability is something that costs money.
An asset is something that produces money (without you needing to work).
As Warren Buffet once said, “If you don’t find a way to make money while you sleep, you will work until you die.”
Time well spent would be building a side business on your weekends.
Time well spent would be investing in stocks and shares.
Time well spent would be constantly learning and reading new books.
Whatever you decide to do with your life, just know that you can never get that time back.
Start valuing your time MORE than money.
Because it really does make perfect sense.
