Per gyvenim tave veda tavyje esanti, itrokusi mokymosi, aisminga dvasin btyb, kuri ir yra tavo asmenybs esm. Nenusigrk nuo jokios galimos ateities prie tai nesitikins, kad i jos nra ko imokti. Tu visuomet gali laisvai apsisprsti. Gali persigalvoti ir pasirinkti kitoki ateit arba kitoki praeit.

How can a person deal with anxiety? You might try what one fellow did. He worried so much that he decided to hire someone to do his worrying for him. He found a man who agreed to be his hired worrier for a salary of $200,000 per year. After the man accepted the job, his first question to his boss was, "Where are you going to get $200,000 per year?" To which the man responded, "That's your worry.
