Big 5 Monthly values and comments

HOW can cowork be Sustainable Pleasure with this “real state cost”?

• Keep the Leopard under surveillance and much smaller than your lion

• Start with a baby Rino – let him grow with the buffalos.

• Put your elephant on a diet, but make sure he is still an Elephant

• Find a “game reserve” wide enough so that your lion can grow strong

• Make sure your herd of Buffalo make lots of babies fast
