Well, today I'll let you talk about an interesting conversation that I have ever had in my life. In my memory, it was about two years ago. My friends and I had a really engaging conversation about the advantages of self-help books, and the book that we mainly wanted to talk about is 'How to Stop Worrying and Start Living' by Dale Carnegie, one of the most famous self-help books of all time. We believe that this book is not as impractical as people usually assume. Besides, it helps us to turn the other cheek and easily get over a lot of hardships, making everything seem hassle-free. It gives us the courage to handle everything in our lives, especially helping us to forget our distress and the many things that make us uncomfortable, not just at work but also in our families. I think it's truly a valuable mental therapy for our spirits. Whenever we read that book, it makes us feel like we are in our comfort zone. Looking back, it has been a worthwhile investment, and I hope that in the future, more and more people will read this book and learn how to live happily without dealing with anxiety in their lives. Yeah.
