Such improvements will increase the value of your property and, more importantly, give you a great deal of pleasure.

Expanding your knowledge base will make you a hot commodity on the professional and social scenes. If you've had trouble finding work, you won't after learning the basics of a foreign language, computer programme, or musical instrument.

Victory will taste so sweet.
