This is a long time
coming, to write about investments! Some investments didn't work out the way I
hoped. I naively thought investing in my education and gaining a University
Degree is a sure way for financial security, a sure way for full-time
employment beyond entry level, a certain promotion and recognition. All the
hard work over the years in studying will be worth it. I didn't know then,
it'll be a long way away to secure a permanent full-time position in my
chosen career. I consult myself, at least I have my chosen career in a casual
position and occasionally contract work or secondments. Therefore, my investment in my university degree has mixed
results.
But I assure you it was
an investment. If you say the Shares Market is volatile, try real life. Where I
invested a life time in Higher Education, and the return on this investment
compared to others with less experience or education, is pure disappointment. This made me reflect on it and work hard to find ways to move my career forward or at least find ways beyond a traditional job to increase wealth legally. Currently its work in progress! I'm blessed and grateful.
That's why I'm
passionate, as I always do, to find ways for growth investing: personal growth,
wealth growth, community growth, financial growth, knowledge growth,
connections, exploration and networking growth. I hate stagnation.
In that spirit and out
of the basic human need for continuous growth, I'll be finding ways for growth
investing. Of course big part of this blog is how to increase monetary and
asset wealth in uncertain and complex economy. How to stay relevant in the fast
pace change of technology, and survive the fierce competition locally and
globally.

about investment growth especially on Australian Stocks. And share news
about local and global economies, as these affect the average worker or
investor on growing their wealth. Thanks for reading.
