Skill up ...

This is the one thing that none of us, except perhaps those living in poverty, should baulk at spending money on – skill acquisition. Our skills - to a large degree, define who we are. Over the millennia, one’s skill-set within the tribe has to a large extent, determined our status – our importance to the tribe as a whole; no skills, would often mean early death; sought-after skills, would guarantee security, basic necessities of survival and the esteem of peers. I like to skill-up; on many things. I find learning to be a very enjoyable experience; and I am very willing to pay good money for any investment in my self. There are so many things to spend money on nowadays; so many commodities, things, stuff … but to spend money on ourselves; to invest in ourselves – this is perhaps the very best way to spend money of all.
