TRAVELS. Imagine cruising on a big liner ship in a first class accommodation with your spouse or family. Isn’t it relaxing and a good feeling? Or wear that sun glasses on while lying on the warmth beads of sands on the island of your choice? You can choose to visit your childhood place where you were born and rekindle the past life?

You’ll realize soon enough that they’ve become adult with their own family already. And allowing your self to enjoy and savor the moment of happy time with them is a good therapy for your workaholic ways.
