Making an Investment is the act of using, giving or devoting time, talent, etc., for a purpose or to achieve something.
Right now in my Inquiry class I have to invest myself in my video project. I am balancing a lot right now with other classes and both of my jobs, but I have to commit myself to this project because I am paying to take this course and have to put my best effort into it. It is hard to fully invest yourself in one thing when you have so much on your plate, but investment is about devoting your time and energy to accomplish something. That is what I have to do to prepare for that and each of my other finals.
A few more words I encountered this week were stress and thankful.
I have spoken about both of these words this week, but I have yet to really define them.
Stress is mental, physical or emotional strain or tension. Everyone is stressed out right now because of finals, but it is very bad for anyone to be too stressed, so we should definitely try to relax as much as possible.
Being thankful is feeling or expressing gratitude and being appreciative. On Thursday we were encouraged to recognize what we are thankful for, and it is a very good thing to do every once in a while.
All of these words are very simple, but they can really have a huge affect on our lives. It is so important to keep each of these topics in your mind on a daily basis. If we do not invest ourselves in our work, we won't do as well as we are capable of doing at school. This will lead to bad grades and even more stress than we are already under. When we are so worried about or preoccupied with one aspect of our lives, we tend to stop thinking about all of the things we should be thankful for. So keep these words in mind, (especially this time of year) and you will be happier.
