Investment In Knowledge

We have always talked about investment in economic terms, into bonds, shares, other financial assets etc. Lets today talk about investment in real terms; investment that always pays no matter what; investment with zero risk. Such an investment is made in knowledge which latter pays in terms of money, respect, values and a great personality.

AN INVESTMENT IN KNOWLEDGE PAYS THE BEST INTEREST. This famous quote of Benjamin Franklin in his book “The Way to Wealth” was in context  to the value of a sound financial advice – protect your money from others by converting it into knowledge. This endures and finds sustenance in every aspect of our life. It   highlights  the correlation between knowledge and its significant return on investment in one’s life.

Knowledge refers to the facts, information, and skills acquired through experience or education, the theoretical or practical understanding of a subject. Education and experience complete the aspect of investment in knowledge by adding value education to one’s life. The skills acquired remain intact and pay high returns throughout one’s life.

Knowledge has power. It controls access to opportunity and advancement. Hence knowledge has to be improved, challenged, and increased constantly, or it vanishes. The more knowledge you have on a certain subject, the more equipped you are to deal with it. It acts as a ladder to attain power and success. Therefore, it is better to invest in knowledge.

Knowledge is  like Bonds, in terms of Value and unlike them, in terms of Risk. Reserve of knowledge, experience, and ability is the only real security that a person will have in this world. Knowledge is highly valued and converts into money from time to time.  Unlike the investments in bonds, investment in knowledge is risk free and ALWAYS pays.

According to The Dalai Lama,

“INVEST (Share) your knowledge.
It’s a way to achieve immortality.”
