develop soft skills regarding empathy and creativity.
 The basis for both is the ability to observe without
judgement.
 This ability is developed with methods from the

7. A GLIMPSE INTO THE TEACHINGS
You are the solution to every problem.
We have two types of problems: problems with solution, problems without
solution:
• If problems have solution, then they cease to be problems;
• If problems have no solution, then they were never problems in the first place.
In life, who is our worst enemy? We are our own worst enemy because we are
enslaved by our ego and negative emotions…. So who should we fight and how to
win?
Change one, change all: We can never change others but we should change
ourselves. Learn why and how.
In life, how to be happy? Giving or receiving?...
How to deal with pain and sickness? No fear, no expectation but acceptance…
Burn-out syndrom is due to excessive stress. Learn how to live a happy,
successful, lean life.
