I have asking myself this question and find it very intriguing. I looked back from when I started working, I attempted to make a rough calculation of how much I spend on my self in terms of education, health, food, clothing, accommodation, travel, entertainment, holiday and just many other things I lost money on. The figure I arrived at was huge. I looked at all this money, all spent on me and wanted to understand if today I am worth all that investment. Well a human being cannot not be priced like a cow, personally I am worth more than all the money in the world. Not being able to arrive at a conclusive finding, I decided to narrow the investment on my skills only. Did I make a good investment on my skills development? At least one can put monetary value on that. Sports stars are bought and sold for millions based on their individual skills.

THE VALUE OF GOOD EDUCATION OR SKILL

We have great leaders some of whom run or own billion dollars empires and huge institutions even though they were not necessarily so-called bright students. They were not able to add one plus one they always got it wrong and were written off by their teachers, in some cases they were made outcasts by their families and communities, They had what I am told is a GIFT that differentiated them. They did not conform to the standards or demands of society as is the case with normal beings like most of us. They were often misunderstood to and could not be captured by the system.

ARE INTERNET MARKETERS MAD?

When listening to most comments by people entering the Internet Marketing business, there is a common thread that tells me that our families and friends think we are mad when we invite them to join us an do what we think is the best opportunity since sliced bread. We complain that they don't want to join, I also complain about the rejection, but now what encourages me to stay on is what I believe is the same rejection our gifted pioneers tasted. Every rejection confirms my resolve that there must be something good with what I am doing and must stick it out no matter what. Look forward to your thoughts.
