014 Self-Improvement: Upgrading Your Life
If you were given some money to fix up1 your residence, your apartment, or house what would you do? Would you get some new furniture? These kinds of things are called “home improvements.”
If you were given time and money to “upgrade” yourself, what would you do?
Learn a new language?
Exercise more?
Buy some new shoes?
Go on a diet?
Take up a new hobby?
Take singing lessons?
What do you think about self-improvement? I love trying to do new things or learning new skills. I love the feeling of learning something new. It makes me feel like a more complete person.
And it doesn’t have to be something big either. It could be something small but still important.
For example, I have been thinking about going to the dentist for a long time, but I got up the courage2 and actually went the other day. It was nice to finally have my teeth cleaned.
Anyway, these things are all related to self-improvement.
