Strive always for change in choosing a holiday.

If you are tired of life, get a holiday, at once, if you can.

Spend the first day quietly at home, and towards the evening take a physical and mental inventory of yourself.

Are you too fat? Have you flabby muscles? Do you sleep badly and suffer from indiges- tion?

The best change for such people is a holiday from the old self, while building up a new and happier personality.
