Young investors, time is on your side

[CityFarmer]

these articles are, in a way, good for the youth since they get them on a track of thinking abt finance/themselves/planning.

but the biggest irony is that one ultimately needs to realise that to get out of the rat's race, one needs to excel in the rat's race first.

In general, unless you are born with a silver, gold or diamond spoon, it is generally not a good idea to spend all your effort in investing.
In fact, I think earlier tasting of successes in investing may undo a person's desire to excel in workplace.

And seriously, investing is not so much more challenging or fulfilling as compared with a heart+lung operation, a high profile court case, designing a plane, building an oil rig and creating Facebook.

And the above activities, besides being fulfilling, bring in a lot of money too.

Jim Roger is a successful investor but he did not make much of a difference to most people's life.
Mark Zuckerberg created facebook and in the process, brings a change to the life of many people.
Ok.. it's time to go back to candy crush...

Hmm... how about those excel in their workplace as fund managers? Fund managers' main job is investing.
