DRAGONS
Dragons are huge, dominating, fictitious creatures. Medieval writers had vivid imaginations for big, scary
things. For many people, work is like a dragon. It can be overwhelming and certainly dominates well over

too. In dragon-fighting, the important thing to remember is that it’s a matter of the mind.
