Many people would agree that stress is a major problem in modern life. It is certainly true that worry and quarrel can cause all kinds of illnesses, 26 backache to severe headaches, or even more serious complaints such as high blood pressure.

We should not forget that we are largely responsible for some of the stress ourselves. We sometimes take 29 more work than our bodies and our minds can handle. We should learn to 30 our limitations. We should be aware of which things are really important and which are not.
