The importance of education fund

Education is the best investment

Imagine you are a 1 gallon bucket, and when it rains, you can just hold a total of 1 gallon of water. But if you are a barrel, then the amount of water you can hold  also increases. You see, the size of you determines how much success you can hold.

This is where an education fund is very important.

The education fund will nourish our mental health. This is to ensure us that we are constantly growing: learning and educating ourselves. I am not talking about formal or academic education, but personal development and self-education like financial education, entrepreneurship courses and more.

Here 3 reasons why it is important  to have an education fund:

1. If you are not growing, you are dying
Again, imagine you are a plant. For a plant to grow, it must be taken cared of. We need to water it, fertilize it, protect from pests, expose to sunlight and more. It's the same with us, we need to constantly pamper ourselves by learning. Because when we are no longer growing, it means we are dying.

2. Be bigger than your problems

Another famous example by T Harv Eker: what if you have a level 5 problem, and you are a level 1 person. Is that a big problem? Totally! But what if you are a level 10 person and the same level 5 problem, will that still be a problem? No problem! So the trick is to grow yourself to become bigger than any problem. All problems have solutions and it depends on the size of you.

Remember: when there is no solution, there is no problem. 

3. Be deeply rooted to withstand massive success

Last example would then be the Chinese bamboo. When you plant a Chinese bamboo, for the next 4 years you will not see any growth. On the 5th year, you will see a sprout. But after 6 weeks, the bamboo shoots up to 90 feet tall!!! How incredible is that. You see, the bamboo has been developing its roots so that when it grows, it can hold its outstanding height. 

The same principle is true for us. We need to nourish ourselves internal. invest in personal growth, keep on learning, read books, blogs, attend seminars and/or listen to audio programs. And after all the self development inside, watch yourself shoot up to massive success.

Invest in your growth,
