CQ,
Most people, including myself, only think about compounding in terms of wealth. In the last years, I have come to the realization that knowledge and health can compound too. I have always been a voracious learner and active with many sports and physical activities. However, now I view learning and training as if I was making investments in quality businesses. These two, of course, would be my mental and physical health and wellbeing. Although an exact number of return cannot be readily calculated, the ROIC is enormous and long lasting. Unfortunately, too many people fail to understand this.
Thank you kindly!
So much to read and not a lot of time. Better take some time off something else ;) thanks a lot for your hard work 😊
