Always believe in yourself. Do this and no matter where you are, you will have nothing to fear.

I find it pointless sitting in my house not working, though I like to go on extended vacations from time to time.

It is the fate of modern life that we repeatedly lose touch with nature, the environment, the planet. But we try to regain it again and again. It's like a circle.
