We know each other less than a day. So far, our story is composed of the surf noise, tea in a small cafe and a conversation lasting 3,5 hours. Today he promised to introduce me to the local Turkish cuisine and there is nothing better than to do it at breakfast. — That is, you really left high-paid work, an apartment in the elite district of Moscow. Bought a boat, took wife and two sons and began to travel around the world in search of happiness? And wasn't happiness so obvious? — my perplexity was mixed with hunger, which I immodestly appease. And while the taste of fresh bread with honey and cheese blew up the taste receptors, the story of my interlocutor did not fit in my head at all. — You forget that between us 20 years of life, — he makes a small sip of tea and smiles. Do you know how is it to have for a decent life everything, and in fact not to sleep from this endless longing for something passionate, desired, unbridled? — For life, do you want to say? — You're incredibly astute, you've been told about it? — Precocious. — You're right, that's what I didn't have enough. Life. It will be difficult to understand it, because you are young, smart and full of ambitions. You are beautiful in your understanding of life and I do not want to confuse you. — I want to know a man who turned from a successful businessman into a yacht owner and prefer a career to sailing with tourists around the world. I will not leave without details. — Okey, but it’s better if I'll show you everything. He quickly pay for meal and we go toward the bus stop. I didn't ask questions and didn't frighten by the answers that I can get. After 10 minutes we go to the marina and slowly approach to a huge row of yachts. — Look over there. Third from the right. My greatest passion in life. Neither the purchase of my own apartment, the number of zeros on the salary card, even the word "dad" from the mouth of my first son did not bring so much life to my life. Does he really compare this piece of metal with his son or was this sea wind deafened me for a short time? — We are still talking about this thing? — with perplexity and even easy condemnation I show in the direction of the yacht. He does not pay attention to my sarcasm and making the way through his own memories, he continues. — It happens in life that you strive for something with absolute certainty that this is your story. God's plan, destiny, call as you want, but there is no doubt. It was with me as well. Excellent work, career growth, dream girl, own housing. But I could not have thought that this is not the happiness I really expected. It was all in it, but I was not. I did not admit it for a long time, considered myself a fool and literally forced myself to be happy. You know, in life you can lie to others as much as you like, but when it comes to you, the voice of justice is obscene loud. You certainly want me to say that I am an idiot, if I speak so about my life. But the fact is that these are absolutely different displays of happiness. This white-blue piece of iron is ME. Every trip with it — also ME. But the career is about money. The wife is a person with her dreams and goals. Children — 2 more people who have their ways. And my 13-meter dream that showed the real me and half of the world. Now I realized what is behind these 20 years between us. And then he grabs me and we run against the wind right to the yacht. He deftly jumps and lend his hand with words that have remained forever in my memory. — Don't wait until the world opens to you. Open it by yourself. I confidently put my hand at his. I feel he has something to share with me.
