Читать книгу Investing All-in-One For Dummies - Eric Tyson - Страница 32

Your ability to earn money is most likely your single biggest asset or at least one of your biggest assets. Most people achieve what they do in the working world through education and hard work. By education, we’re not simply talking about what one learns in formal schooling. Education is a lifelong process. You may learn far more about business from your own front-line experiences and those of others than you learn in educational settings.

If you don’t continually invest in your education, you risk losing your competitive edge. Your skills and perspectives can become dated and obsolete. Although that doesn’t mean you should work 80 hours a week and never do anything fun, it does mean that part of your “work” time should involve upgrading your skills.

The best organizations are those that recognize the need for continual knowledge and invest in their workforce through training and career development. Just remember to consider your own career objectives, which may not be the same as your company’s.
