Frederic thought for many minutes the question he was going ask. With great security in him he make the question to the guru. Why I am not happy with myself? I am the CEO of a very important company, have a mansion as a house, a very expensive car, a wife that looks like a stunning model. However, I do not feel happy. Sadness is my secrete companion.
