Invest in your interests
In this world of uncertainty, failure or loss is almost inevitable. The best one can do is to protect oneself from outrageous hurt. From experience, the depth of hurt differs depending on the preceding circumstances. Failure is more tolerable if the best effort has been put into making the project a success. This might be because of the experience and knowledge gathered in the process and the sense of purpose derived while chasing a perceived just cause. The feeling is totally different when the antecedent of the failure is negligence or greed. Your inner conscience will constantly question your loyalty, intelligence, and sense of choice and decision.
My advice is to invest in your interests so that when you succeed, you have fulfilled a purpose. Your ambition has become a reality, and you have helped bring to life what you actually believe in. On the other hand, if you fail, at least you lived as you believed. Living your beliefs on your own is a great achievement; thus, in the midst of failure, you succeeded.
So if you are interested in bringing electricity to your community, invest in companies that are electrifying your community. If you are interested in steel development in your country, buy stocks of companies that are into steel production. If you would like to have a neat environment, put your money into waste management in your preferred area.
If you cannot physically pursue your interests, let your investments speak on your behalf.
If it were not so, I would have told you.
