place doing the right thing. How many have made career

               choices so that they could earn money? You will say that

               is the reason why people work, to earn money. Some even

               think because they earn big salaries that they are happy.

               We  can  see  the  discontentment  that  humankind

               don’t  do  it’.  Your  ego  won’t  let  you  realise  your

               unhappiness nor will it help you realise the changes that
