By the time George was 30, however, he decided he wanted a fresh challenge. He was keen to work abroad, so he resigned from his company and started looking for a new job with a bigger company. After a couple of months he managed to find a job with an international company which involved a lot of foreign travel. He was very excited about the new job and at first he really enjoyed the travelling.

After that, George found things much more difficult. He was unemployed for over a year. He had to sell his car and move out his new house. Things were looking bad and in the end George had to accept a part-time job on a fruit and vegetable stall in a market.
To his surprise, George loved the market. He made a lot of friends and enjoyed working out in the open air. After two years, he took over the stall. Four years later he opened a second stall, and after ten years he had fifteen stalls. Last year George retired at the age of 55, a very rich man.
