Life Changes
When Andrew Garter was offered the position of Senior European Sales Manager in a large, successful multinational corporation, he 30……………… at the chance. One of the main reasons for his immediate acceptance was the opportunity for a large amount of foreign travel. He could see himself relaxing in a cafe by the Seine after a hard day’s business, before jetting 31 ___________ to an important meeting the next morning in Prague. How romantic it all seemed.
And yet now, only eight months after his first day in the job, how different his emotions were. For Andrew Carter was experiencing what many international business travellers had experienced before him, and will experience for years to come, that a life 32 ___________ on planes and in hotels is lonely, dull and exhausting.
He longed to be back at home, and dreamt of the simple pleasures of having someone to watch television with, of being asked how his day was. As he lay on the bed in his luxurious, yet strangely soulless hotel room, he 33 ___________ the empty evening ahead of him. «What’s the 34 ___________,» he asked himself, as he had done so many times, ’of going out this evening?
I won’t talk to anyone. I won’t have anyone to enjoy it with. Every city’s the same when you’re alone.» Not wanting to sit alone at a table in the hotel restaurant, he decided to have his evening meal delivered to his room by room service. Leafing through the menu, Andrew was struck by another desire – for some simple, home-cooked food. He sighed.
And then he thought the unthinkable. «I don’t have to 35 ___________ on like this,» he said out loud. «I’m still young. My whole life’s ahead of me. I could quit my job and do something I really enjoy. So what if I don’t make so much money? Money isn’t everything.»
It would take several years, and a number of 36___________ starts, but finally Andrew Carter did leave his highly-paid position. He was scared, but for the first time in his life he was truly content.
