And how then you gradually remember your past self, and you are faced with a choice – to accept yourself as that , who you were, or treat this situation as some kind of chance to change your life. And my hero has something to change, because at his age, and he is well over 40, he. famously ruined his life: his relationship with his father and daughter was destroyed, he, by and large, has no friends, his close friend and business partner turns out to be a traitor, and the ways in which he created his business do not really suit him. ..”.
