I've just read The Sunday Times and came across an interesting investment article. It's about a forex trading, which means trading in the currency market. It looked pretty lucrative so i went to the author's website and had a look. Okay basically there's only 1 thing I want to bring out from that website.
Have you heard of the 80/20 rule? The 80/20 rule, also known as Pareto's Principle or law of the 'trivial many (80%) and the critical few (20%)', was named after Vilfredo Pareto, an Italian economist and political sociologist who lived from 1848 to 1923.
This rule states that in many aspects of business and life, 80% of the potential value can be achieved from just 20% of the effort, and that one can spend the remaining 80% of effort for relatively little return.
Don't simply try to do more. Just do more of the right things.
Yeah, so for students, if your big dream if is to finish that entire TYS on your table, then you're wasting your precious youthful times :P
