READING THE TEA LEAVES 15A

LIFE IS A GAME OF CONNECT THE DOTS, IF YOU DON'T CONNECT ALL THE DOTS OR DON'T CONNECT THEM IN THE RIGHT ORDER YOU NEVER GET THE PICTURE READING THE TEA LEAVES 15A It is difficult to predict what comes next, what the future holds, not just for myself and my kin, not for the country, not for the humanity itself.
