What are the fdiference between growth, value and income investing?

I'm earning way more than my expenses and I thought of investing my money but the problem is that I don't know how to go about my investments. Should I invest in growth stocks? Value stocks? Or income stocks? I want to know what they are and how they're different so I can choose the right investment for me.

    Growth investing is about picking companies with strong earnings growth prospects which are generally new companies. Value investing is about picking companies that are trading significantly below what’s normally regarded as “fair value”This is also like growth investing where it's all about capital gains. Income investors is about picking companies that are generating stable earnings, pay a good amount of their earnings as dividends to their shareholders, and have strong underlying assets or businesses.

Ease of use to accumulate on miles

The American Express Krisflyer Credit Card has an attractive sign up bonus and it is easy to use to accumulate on miles as no conversion into KF account is required, and monthly auto “sweeping” of miles help save in the conversion fee. I also have had good experiences with their customer care service as the call center service is absolutely awesome.

Earn up to 1% rebate on your purchase

If you target to spend on major event tickets and high price items with the plan to split by instalment then this card is for you. However I notice that if you have an existing OCBC saving account, it makes bill payments much more seamless. And aside from being able to split payment into monthly instalments interest free, you can earn up to 1% rebate on your purchase. Only few cards in the market that allow auto convert spending into interest free instalment and still be entitled to 0.5% or 1% cash rebate.

Great customer service officers

I have had this card for a long while. The good thing with the card is that AMEX have been waiving my annual fees which is probably why I still have the card.
