The scientists 47 the number of people in that risk category at between five and ten cent of listeners, 48 up to 10 million people in the European Union.

Once, it was in the middle of a personal development workshop. One of the people present stood up and began 36 out diamond rings to each of the one hundred people in the room.
He was a 37 jeweler, he said, and he had made these expensive 38 as gifts to open people’s eyes to the abundance(富裕) of life.

50 it to be. See your life with less movement, less doing, less rushing. See it with more stillness, more consideration, more 51 .

55 the stillness. It’s a treasure, and it’s available to us, always.
