Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Sep 19, 2021

Some investments give good returns. Others completely fail. Is there any investment which gives a guaranteed return? Yes, there is.

We invest time in people. When we invest, we hope for a return. What do you suppose is the best investment of all? ...read more
