TO the effort OF yesterday the brain
Is trained to control the muscles.
to achieve the wonderful feat OF
balancing The body. and when the
brain Is trained-the child walks.
You have desire for economic
freedom. You desire more money.
more leisure: you desire TO feel
successful. How can il be done.
and while. too. you keep bright
