# Five things that have the highest compound interest

###### tags: `thread`

- English, code, write, speech, read - the five things that have the highest compound interest in this world.
- If you don't speak English, you can't understand the most important things that are happening in the world. If you can't code, you can't make your ideas come to reality. If you can't write and speak, you can't bring people together and you can't deliver your ideas to others.
- Of these, I think reading is the most important. If you can't read, it's hard to recognize your own "stupidity", and you lose the opportunity to change yourself.
- Persist in doing these five things every day, long-term accumulation will inevitably form a qualitative change.
- At present, the best thing I do is read and code. I will read the wonderful books and articles in various fields driven by interest. Similarly, I will check the documents and codes of interesting projects in the Crypto field. If I hear a particular idea, I have a very strong motivation to implement it.
- So in this process, I have accumulated a lot of knowledge that was previously unreachable in a single field, and the joy of discovering new things will give me a strong enough positive feedback loop, pushing me to continue to follow my curiosity and explore the depths of unknown things.
