You are unable to pay the next installment of your car. There is no money in your account, the cheque will bounce, the company man will knock at your door, company may drag you to court for non-payment. You are worrying and worrying and getting ill. What is the worse scenario: you can pay late and with a fine. The worst is that you will have to sell the car. That way you will pay all the remaining installments.

A man makes his life complicated himself and gets in the grip of tension wave.

Don't expect too much from others especially from friends and family members. Too many expectations cause heart-burn and headaches. Expect less and be happier.

10. Delegate Your Work and Worries
Only two types of persons are tension-free in this world: One who works so hard that there is hardly a place whnsion can fit. Second who delegates his work and worries to others. If you want to progress fast the second option is creative as well as a sound business policy.
