[Abstract] investing in your knowledge assets on a regular basis

Section 5: Your knowledge assets (I personally think it is a very practical point, of course, other chapters are equally important !)

 

investment in knowledge can always get the best return !!
------- Benjamin. Franklin

invest regularly in your knowledge portfolio!
invest in your knowledge assets on a regular basis.

management of intellectual assets and financial assets are very similar:
1. Serious investors' regular investment-as a habit.
2. Diversification is the key to long-term success. (The more different things you know, the more valuable you are !)
3. Smart investors gradually balance their assets with conservative investments and high-risk and high-return investments. (Do not put all your technical eggs in one basket)
4. investors try to buy low and sell high to maximize the return.
5. The assets should be re-evaluated and balanced periodically. (This is a very turbulent Industry !)

advice on the best way to obtain knowledge assets:

1. At least one new language each year.
2. Read a technical book every quarter (or every month.
3. Read non-technical books. (Computers are used by humans. You must try to meet the needs of others .)
4. Class. (Or go to the lecture .)
5. participate in a local organization. Ask what people outside of your company are doing.
6. Test different environments. (For example, Windows → UNIX; ide → writer .)
7. keep up with the trend. (Subscribe to fashion magazines and other journals .)
8. surfing the Internet. (A great choice. ^_^)

critically analyze what you read and hear!

Do not underestimate the power of business. Make sure that the knowledge in your knowledge assets is accurate and not influenced by the "hype" of suppliers or the media!
