Its feels really bad when someone steels something that you own. I still remember how bad I felt the last time my car’s rear sign was stolen and am sure you felt really bad the last time someone stole something from you too.

One of the main reasons that makes some people believe that change is not possible is believing that their current behavior will remain the same simply because it have been there for a while.
