A Passion Is Fantastic to Have

It will keep you energetic and full of joy.

I Made the Conclusion

I am better than most others, but I don’t need to prove it anymore. I know it myself, and that is enough nowadays.

That made my life much more straightforward, and I enjoy it more now than before. I had in my mind that I had to show everyone how good I was.

Maybe it is my increasing age. Perhaps it is the consumption of beers.

Most of the time, it is better to let others do most of the talking.

People that make mistakes do so because they don’t think first.

Do you want to see why I look stupid?

Do you think that I am shy?
