  It is quite difficult to narrow it down to four. If I am forced too I would say 1.Living below your means and investing the surplus properly Not matter how much is earned, you can become broke. Ask the 70% of former professional athletes, even the elite ones like NFL players, who are said to go broke within a few years of retirement. These days, saving hard, whilst better than spending 100% of income, isn’t as useful as investing. Investing has always been better, long-term, at least, compared to saving.

  1. Learn a New Language It’s funny how learning a new language in high school felt like slow torture, but as an adult, the idea of it is very appealing. There are so many apps and online platforms out there dedicated to helping people learn languages in a fun and easy way and at their own pace (without any quizzes or tests to possibly flunk). Some even offer tutors from around the world, making any language in reach. Learning a new language can also make you more cognizant of your primary language, and inspire you to think more about what you’re saying. Taking time to think about how you communicate will only improve the way you do so. You’ll also sharpen your decision-making abilities because instead of making quick judgment calls, you’ll slow down and sit with your thoughts before making a decision. To learn a language is to have one more window from which to look at the world. –  Chinese Proverb   2. Martial Arts Martial arts like karate, judo, and jiu-jitsu are gre...
