I think it's important to make the right investments in life because it will really help out seriously financially a person's life. Sometimes, it's just better to not rush into something when you are not ready and take your time with developing in some area. I'm starting to learn this now after having tried to rush in so many things.
First off, it started with letting go of my dependence on video games. Slowly, I'm working my way to letting go of too much T.V. and other things. It's pretty crazy how a little focus can go a long ways for a person sometimes.
