I don’t take any problems home with me from the office. I have time for my family. I also have time to read.

Some time ago， a friend of mine ， who worked in a part of the city I didn’t know very well， invited me to call on him. It took me hours to get there and I took great trouble to find a proper place to park my car. As I was already three quarters late， I parked my car quickly. At noon， just as I was leaving my friend’s office， it suddenly struck me that I had no idea where I had parked my car. I could not find a policeman and tell him that I had lost a small green car somewhere! Walking down street after street， I examined each car closely and was very happy to see a small green car just behind an old one. But how disappointed I was to discover that though the car was exactly like mine， it belonged to someone else! Feeling quite tired， I went off for lunch. Some time later， I left the restaurant and walked down the street. Turning the corner， I nearly jumped for joy: my car was right in front of me， and there was no problem this time. To tell the truth， driving in crowded cities is far from being a pleasure and it is much easier to walk than to drive.
