Chapter5

Whatareyouinvestingin?

Jane and Joanna are sisters living in the south east of London both decided
to invest the money they got from their grand parents last Christmas.At the
end of the season Joanna got a full return percentage on her investments
while Jane got less than she had originally invested.Both were asked by their

16

parents how they came about their result,Joanna said she took her time to
study every stock and commodity she had invested in before investing and
even after investing she kept on re-investing by compounding,she also said
she worked hard by applying all the knowledge she had sort in investment
because she wanted good profit on her investment and also wanted her
portfolio to grow,while Jane said she only invested in the stock people were
investing in and also what was at her disposal but she did not know
why,which means she invested in what was easy to find,she did not bother
searching for profitable stocks which means she invested by following the
crowd.
The story of Jane and Joanna is a simple way to show how we live our lives
today,
''We

are

all

investors,each

sailing

out

on

voyage

of

discovery,guided each by a private chart,of which there is no

duplicate,The

world is all gates,all opportunities''.Ralph waldo

Emerson
We all should ask ourselves this questions and be honest about the answer
we give.
What type of investment am i making in my life?
Am i guaranteed to be accomplish in life?
Will what am doing now bring me to where i want to be in the future?
Which habit do i have that will hinder me from my full life
accomplishment?
Is my job what i really want to do or did i just take it because it was
available to me?
Who am i and what am i really good at?
You know the answers to this questions,We all are investors in life and we
have the right to decide how we want to live our lives.Living life is not just
passing bye everyday and taking it the way it comes,Life is a challenge

17

which we have to take on a daily basses.We have to decide what we want

and make a plan on how to get what we want regardless of what the
surrounding is saying.The path you go in life will be determined by you,You
just have to decide.Decision,setting a plan of action and doing what you
have planned is powerful because it will bring you to your destination,Its just
like having a map.If you let two ships sail on the ocean,one with a captain
and a planned destination and the other without,the one with a captain and
a planned destination will arrive safely at the set destination while the other
will only wonder and drift to different direction on the sea and will end up
crashing into anything that's in its direction.That is how powerful a plan
is,Most people get up in the morning without even knowing why!Most people
do things without even knowing why,that is why most people go through life
without knowing why and what they want out of life.You have passed
through life for a long time but now is the time for you to make life what you
really want,Decide on what you want and put yourself to work.Its time for
you to create your own life,you have lived in other peoples shadow for a
long time,take the step by deciding now,the best is in you,Running the rat
race is not your call,you have something great in you,something that will
create your future,you have what the world is waiting to see.If you don't
take the time to invest in yourself you will end up just passing through life
without accomplishing what you really want.This is a wake up call for
you,Get up and get to work,you can do it.Many are depending on you to
have an hedge in life.If the most successful people we have today have not
taking the decision they took,where will the people they have touched be
today?So many are waiting on you,get up and take the lead.You are a leader
and a winner,step up and take your rightful place.I want you to know you
can do anything,all you just need is to decide,have a plan,if you have to
learn a new skill, do it and take the action by working towards your plan,The
world is waiting on you,Get to work now.No matter where you are today,you
might be behind bars,or might be on a sick bed,You are able to do all
things,your present situation should not predict and shape your life,your life
is precious and must be taking care off by you,no one is going to do that for

18

you but you,Make life what you want it to be,design it,craft it,create it,draw
it,see it,and bring it to reality with every action.The only thing that is
standing against you is you,why stand against yourself?You can make the
full percentage of your investment like Joanna did in the story that was
told,get to work.

''whatsoever you do,do with great passion''

Whatever you do and whatever you commit yourself to do, do it fully, creating
your own way of fulfillment,Anyone can learn to do whatever he or she
pleases,The difference between the one that stands out and the one that does not
stand out is their passion towards what they do.If you have passion towards
something,It will drive you to a state of commitment and persistence no matter
what is happening around you.
We all can testify to this in one way or the other,Remember when you were
trying to woo that girl,despite the fact that she keeps turning you down you keep
going back.passion can also be seen in a baby trying to walk,no matter how often
the baby falls or trip the baby gets up and try again until he/she walks.I say to
people it's better to have a carrier in what you have passion for,so your working
hours is going to be fun, give one hundred percent focus and time to whatever
you're doing. That is surely the best way to be satisfied with what we do and get
the best results.you have greatness in you,the greatness in you will only shine
through stretching,Which means you have to have a consistence ritual,An habit
that

will bring out the best in you,it could be any thing,training

constantly,reading,attending seminars and work shops,working hard on your

self,burning candles to be the best at what you do.Do what others will not do for

19

you to achieve a better result in whatsoever you are doing, Your push with life is
very important because life will only pay what you ask of it,Its a known fact that
sometimes we get discouraged,sometimes we feel its not coming together,we put
so much an nothing seems to be happening yet,Nobody believes in that idea we
have,I have good news for you,it does not have to look as if its coming together
for it to come together,That idea you have its your idea,if you believe in it then
work on it to prove it can be done.You seek peoples opinion about the idea you
have,asking them what they think,the people you ask probably does not think so
they tell you what they don't think and you get discouraged about the idea that
would have made you a fortune or the idea that will create jobs and put food on
the table for many,If you can see it and if you believe in it,work it out and prove it
can be done, don't seek peoples approval for your dream in life.Its time for you to
commit yourself to that dream of yours,you have left it so long,you have left many
jobless and hungry because you will not act,because you have refused to execute
that great idea,the seed its in you and it has to come out, don't let your dreams
die in you,work it out,it can be worked,The best is in you let it shine
