A island of calm – sometimes it seems that this is all we need to recover from shocks, relax and gain strength. But where to find him? Naughty children at home, at work – intractable customers.

will forget about not even five years later, but after five minutes, so this phrase helps me a lot.
“Some lessons are better absorbed in calm times, others – during a storm”

“Nature is in no hurry and manages everything”
Lao Tzu, ancient Chinese philosopher, founder of Taoism
