Your investment of time should not
be compromised nor shared. We often downplay the importance of time
investment. We recognize how precious time can be when it comes to
our personal affairs but we can sometimes downplay how important
time is when dealing with professional development. We dedicate 8
hours a day to our job, another 8 hours per day to sleep and the
last 8 hours usually goes toward a combination of friends, family
relaxation and personal agenda. Be creative with your time
management and make some time for developing your strengths.
Making an investment of time is a
long term project. Just as the person who goes to the gym to
develop physical strength then quits after two months because he
doesn't see the results that he wants, your personal strengths will
also take time to develop. Do not be stingy or frugal with your
time investment. Once you make a choice to pursue a goal, investing
time cannot be substituted for. Make sure your priorities are in
line with the expectations of your development. The more time you
invest the greater your chances of having successful
outcomes.
