You can invest time in acquiring knowledge or invest time in acquiring things.

He was not able to trigger the arrhythmia and aborted the procedure. The second was by a different cardiac electrophysiologist who felt very confident in the success of his procedure. Inste...

Pigs and Pearls

Recognize that not everyone shares your viewpoint. The things you hold dear may not be appreciated by others, so be cautious about whom you trust with what you value. Not everyone has the ability to appreciate things in the way they deserve. “Do not give what is holy to dogs, and do not throw your pearls before swine, or they will trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you to pieces.” - Matthew‬ ‭7:6‬ ‭NASB‬‬
