Suppose you were traveling to a foreign country. When you arrived, you might read a guidebook or visit a tourist booth to familiarize yourself with the laws and customs of the place you were visiting. . Before the weekend, you'll receive a handbook, explaining Otherworld’s customs and conventions. When you arrive at the weekend itself, there'll be a short briefing to review the handbook's contents.
Then you and your group are taken to the front door of the Inn at World's Edge. You'll see candles on each of the tables. A fire will burn in the fireplace. At many of the tables, people will sit talking, arguing, and laughing. These people are our staff volunteers. . But now they are all costumed and playing roles as citizens of the village of World's Edge.

Worry problems are everywhere in our daily life. How to solve them? The answer is that we must equip ourselves to deal with different kinds of worries by learning the three basic steps of problem analysis. The three steps are:
Get the facts
Why is it so important to get the facts? Unless you have the facts, you can’t possibly attempt to solve your problem intelligently. Without the facts, all you can do is wondering around in confusion. It is not an easy job to get facts. When you are worried, your emotions are riding high..
When trying to get the facts, you can pretend that you are collecting this information not for yourself but for some other person. You can also pretend that you are a lawyer preparing to agree. Try to get all the facts both on your side and the other side of the case. You will generally find the truth lies somewhere in between.
Whenever you are worried, write down the questions that make you worry. And write out all the various steps you could take and then the probable consequences of each step. For example, what am I worrying about? What can I do about it? Here is what I’m going to do about it. After carefully weighing all the facts, you can calmly come to a decision.
Act on that decision.How can you break the worry habit before it breaks you? Crowd worry out of your mind by keeping busy. Plenty of action is one of the best ways to cure worry.
If you know a situation is beyond your power, say to yourself: “ It is so; it can’t be otherwise.” Don’t permit little things to ruin your happiness. Try to cultivate a mental attitude that will bring you peace and happiness.
| A．Accept what can’t be avoided. |
| B．Analyze the facts. |
| C．There comes a time when you must decide and never look back. |
| D．But here are two ideas that can help you see the facts in a clear and objective way. |
E. Unless you take your action, all your face-finding and analysis is a sheer waste of energy.
F. Decide how much anxiety a thing may be worth.
G. This will help you to take a cold and fair view of the evidence.
Although problems are a part of our lives, it certainly doesn’t mean that we let them rule our lives forever. One day or the other, you’ll have to stand up and say – problem, I don’t want you in my life.Problems with friends, parents, girlfriends, husbands, and children – the list goes on. Apart from these, the inner conflicts within ourselves work, too. These keep adding to our problems. Problems come in different shapes and colors and feelings.
But good news is that all problems can be dealt with. Now read on to know how to solve your problems.
Talk, it really helps. What most of us think is that our problem can be understood only by us and that no talking is going to help.Talking helps you move on and let go.
Write your problems.When you write down your problems, you are setting free all the tension from your system. You can try throwing away the paper on which you wrote your problems. By doing this, imagine yourself throwing away the problems from your life.
Don’t lose faith and hope. No matter what you lose in life, don’t lose faith and hope. Even if you lose all your money, family… you should still have faith.
Your problems aren’t the worst. No matter what problem you get in life, there’re another one million people whose problems are huger than yours.Your problems might just seem big and worse, but in reality they can be removed.
Go about and solve your problems because every problem, however big or small, always has a way out.
| A．But the truth is that when you talk about it, you’re setting free the negative energies that have been gathering within you. |
| B．When we have a problem, a pressing, critical, urgent, life-threatening problem, how do we try and solve it? |
| C．Tell yourself: when they can deal with them, why can’t I? |
| D．Of course, we’ve been fighting problems ever since we were born. |
E. We can often overcome the problem and achieve the goal by making a direct attack.
F. Having a personal diary can also be of huge help if you don’t want a real person to talk with.
G. With faith and hope, you can rebuild everything that you lose.
