Many investors have used these immemorial strategy successfully and have made enormous wealth and fulfilment in life. Throughout my life, i had been very fortunate to be blessed with a wonderful support from family and friends and i believe that we (people) with the privilege of a good upbringing should give back to society; cognizant of our roots as the joy of success is in sharing. Making our sphere of contact better than we met.
Our purpose should reflect the likes of Mahatma Gandhi, Mother Tersa, Jesus of Nazereth would had the characteristics of integritym courage, love and selflessness.
Lost in deep thoughts in the vain of how rewarding it is to invest in others, the words of Kemi Sogunle reverberates from within; “When you hoard knowledge, you deprive yourself of blessings and growth.” and i agree 99.9% with her. Investing in others is one of the smartest decision one can ever make in your journey of life as it sure pays significant rewards. Sometimes you really may not count it much until life throws it best shoot at you and of course at such point the investment of time, knowledge, love, kindness, goodness or more (if any) that you have put in would reciprocate at you accordingly.
In the content of investment, one of the essential quality of a person of success is his ability to discern how to and what he do to add value to his sphere of contact. Investing in others means that you identifying their talents, resource and create an enabling environment that would spur advancement and thus improved their standard of living.
It means you are not just concern about yourself alone; you would do all that is within your power to see that do see the big, better picture of the future and you work with them at fitting into that better frame of the future you saw. Making your sphere of contact better than you met it.

I really do not want to sound like a preacher in this post but from a crystal viewpoint i shall be using a certain verse of the scriptures to buttress my point.
Sometimes i wish every other day would be christmas- this is because it is one season of the year where people tend to focus on others more. This should be a everyday lifestyle if you ask me. Here are a few nuggets on how to invest in others.
Value People ; it matters alot what you think and feel about other people.
How often do you look past others, without really getting to know them or appreciating them for who they are. Understand we need to intentionally value others and express that value to them.
Think of ways to add value in your sphere of contact.
lead by example
Show them some love.
Its should be worthy of not as well that it is important to add value in an authentic motive.... No strings attached
srcYour labour of love for others is not in vain
The above remains the me of the story i heard and read of a woman whose act of investing in others brought her back to life when she died. It is recorded that she was a kind hearted woman who would do her best to ensure other were doing well. She thus invested her time, money, and other valuable resource in their well being without any string attached. Her testimony has indeed imprinted a certain mindset on the fabric of my heart.
What ever you do to or for others in this life always has a way of coming back at you in seven ways.
Dorcas Is Raised from the Dead
A woman who was a follower lived in the city of Joppa. Her name was Tabitha, or Dorcas. She did many good things and many acts of kindness. One day she became sick and died. After they had washed her body, they laid her in a room on the second floor. The city of Lydda was near Joppa. The followers heard that Peter was at Lydda and sent two men to ask him to come at once. Peter went back with them. When he came, they took him to the room. All the women whose husbands had died were standing around crying. They were showing the clothes Dorcas had made while she was with them.
Peter made them all leave the room. Then he got down on his knees and prayed. He turned to her body and said, “Tabitha, get up!” She opened her eyes and looked at Peter and sat up. He took her by the hand and lifted her up. Then he called in the faithful followers and the women whose husbands had died. He gave her to them, a living person.
News of this went through all Joppa. Acts 9:36-42We Have Dorcas' Here On Steemit

CHANGING OUR WORLD... INVESTING IN OTHERS
I love it so much when Olugbenga Stephen ASAOLU said:...SUCCESS is worthless if we don’t have people to share it with; indeed, our most desired human emotion is that of connection with other souls.
The world will not remember YOU for how long you lived or how much YOU accumulated, YOU will only be remembered for the problems you solved and the positive impact YOU made...
Invest in people, it pays...
A man of success achieves his goals,
While a man of significance changes his world.
A higher level of successful living is living a life of significance.
Please get this right:
It is not all about YOU winning; it’s about how many people you have helped to win.
It is not only about you being a genius; it’s about how many people you have helped to unlock their genius.
The world will quickly forget you no matter how wealthy you are, but you will forever be remembered for how many NOBODY you helped to become SOMEBODY.If your found this post worthwhile kindly resteem . I look forward to your insightful comment in the section below.
