“The One Treasure That Can Never Be Stolen”
There was a time—not so long ago—when people would carefully store their hard-earned money in their pockets, purses, or hidden compartments at home. Women, in particular, would tuck cash into spice jars, deep cupboards, or even fold it securely within their scarves. Though these practices reflected cleverness and caution, they also carried a constant fear—the fear of loss, of theft, of money slipping away unnoticed.
But as the years passed, the world around us changed. Technology stepped in, and with it came better, smarter ways to protect our wealth. Digital wallets, secure banking systems, and high-tech lockers slowly replaced the traditional ways. As these modern methods spread, the chances of physical theft reduced significantly.
And yet, even today, when we have encrypted apps and secure vaults, we are still not entirely safe. Many innocent and well-meaning individuals fall prey to cybercriminals, online fraudsters, and scammers. Sometimes it's due to a lack of awareness. Sometimes it's misplaced trust. The tools of theft may have changed, but the risk remains very real.
However, amidst all this vulnerability, there is one thing that can never be stolen—your knowledge, your skills, your education, and your talent.
