Stop worrying and start living

Are we worrying too much? Study has shown that about sixty percent of human worries are totally unwanted. Of the remaining portion of worries, twenty percent are about things already past or activities that are beyond our control. Another ten percent are so petty that they don't make much difference at all. Of the remaining ten percent of our worries, only four to five percent are really justifiable.
