USE it or LOSE it!

Most of us are unaware that KNOWLEDGE comes with an EXPIRY date.

Learning is an ongoing process. We live in an era where a plethora of data and information is readily available. We must learn how to transform information into knowledge.

📌 And, before knowledge becomes obsolete, turn it into a skillset.

Prof. John B. Goodenough, now 100, who received a Nobel Prize for his work on lithium-ion batteries at the age of 97, once stated that just because one retires does not mean he should wait to die.

Downgrading occurs by default if we do not upgrade. We die the moment we stop growing.

If we are good at something, we will perform much better than others who do not have that skill. However, it is equally important to constantly sharpen and upgrade our skills.

There are numerous examples of celebrities, sportsmen, and public figures who excelled at the pinnacle of their careers. However, they went bankrupt or lived hand to mouth after that.

Their refusal to improve themselves was a major factor in their financial failure later in life. They grossly underestimated future costs. They didn't learn how to manage their money properly.

In fact, people spent 90% of their time thinking about how to earn money. However, not even 10% of their time is dedicated to managing their hard-earned money. This is equally important.

One day, our active earnings come to an end. At that point, we will rely on the corpus amassed throughout our lives to generate passive income.

Learn how to manage your money prudently in order to maintain your lifestyle and future expenses.

Learning must continue from the Womb to the Tomb.

Have you ever heard the story of a woodcutter who used to sharpen his Axe several times before cutting a tree?

Keep shaping your Axe on a daily basis!

💎 Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever - Mahatma Gandhi

🔔 When was the last time you sharpened your skills?
