Warning: don’t be the richest one in the graveyard. A wise investor named Warren Buffet once quoted “Investing in yourself is the most important investment you’ll ever make in your life. There’s no financial investment that’ll ever match it, because if you develop more skill, more ability, more insight, more capacity, that’s what’s going to really provide economic freedom. It’s those skill sets that really make that happen.” - Warren Buffet, Billionaire American Investor.
