deal to do with ones advancement,

1t is notifying thing to have a
Kindly feeling in the depths Of ones

to repel people when one has just the

incased IN an icy exterior with a really
warm heart is most unfortunate
thing.
Some people have a repelling express

IS constant EN- mbarraSsment to them,
but they do not seem able to overcome
it. This is largely due to Q lack Of
early training or to the fact that some
times these people have been reared

not have the advantages Of social in
