Investing isn’t just about property, stocks, or ETFs—it can also be about investing in yourself! Self-investment is one of the most powerful forms of growth, whether it’s learning a new skill, picking up an instrument to play your favorite song, or mastering something that simplifies your life.
One of the best investments I made was dedicating time to learning SQL, Python, and REST APIs to streamline work processes and improve my daily workflow. To this day, I continue refining these skills and pursuing my passion for problem-solving through backend engineering and automation scripting. This journey has led me to exciting projects in SQL reporting, software integration with REST APIs, and various data engineering tasks. Through self-study, research, practice, failure, and continued persistence, it has led me towards work that truly excites me while deepening my understanding of web applications. As a result, investing time in these skills has not only enhanced my technical expertise but also brought me genuine happiness and fulfillment!
If I could go back in time, I’d tell myself: Keep learning what excites you. Keep investing in yourself. Growth is the best return on investment that your future self will appreciate 100%!
