When we start being pessimistic, hopeless, depressed, feeling restless, and even wary in everything that is
happening around us, our spirits are down. We cease to work and we develop a negative attitude. We lose
enthusiasm and stop being a diligent person. Now, we get distracted and stop being productive. How can we
then accomplish anything in our life and thread the road to success? Not knowing what you like is not being
healthy, for after awhile an individual will start experiencing ennui. There should be a reason for all these
things happening and there is a solution to this matter.

should be spent for us to learn this craft so that our quality of life will change dramatically. This is very true for
