My Picture
Life is a lesson on its own, because no matter how educated that you are, no matter your level in academic, there are things your teacher will never teach you, there are things you will never learn in school but life will teach you for free and it's either you learn it peacefully or you learn the hard way.
Personally , they never taught me savings and investment in school, what they did in financial accounting and maybe entrepreneur in my year 1 is what I don't understand till today. But as time passes, as we keep leaving life and as the economic situation of our country keeps fluctuating like a simple pendulum, I now had to use my tongue to count my teeth, I had to start learning how to save by force. At a point, I realize that savings alone might not help , because there are times you will touch your savings just to safe your life 🤣. So I had to learn how to put a little part of my income where it will be able to generate more income , no matter how small.
Everybody in life appears to be a friend, but if you check well , it's not everyone that is smiling at you or calling you friends are truly your friends. And they will not teach you this in school. Which is why you need to learn it by yourself, understand that there are friends and there are frienemies.
Time is one of the most valuable asset in life, and time lost can never be recovered. And if you check well, there is no course or subject like time management in school. In school you choose what you wish to do with your time. Either to waste it or make good use out of it. No body will teach you this in school, but life will.
Peace of mind is underestimated and money will not give you all the happiness you need in life. There are people who are wealthy but are not happy and lacks Peace of mind , only life will teach you this. Life will also teach you that even schooling is not a guarantee to get wealth, you need skills and other sources of income.
School will not teach you these but life will.
