The most important question

Since time ago I heard a story that makes me think a lot. I would like to share it with you.

A high european executive was on holidays with a beautiful black woman in the Caribe. They were meet just since a couple of weeks but they like each other and decided to spend more time together in such a paradise.

One night they were having a drink late in the evening. The sunset was marvellous.
She looked at his eyes and makes this question:

Who are you?

He was shocked for a moment. What a question after been together for a time!

- Well, I am John.
- No, that is your name. Who are you?
- I am a man.
- That is your gender. Who are you?
- I am English
- That is your nationality. Who are you?
- I am executive.
- That is your job. Who are you?
- I am a former elite sportsman.
- That is part of your past and achievements. Who are you?

He felt the questions falling deep into his soul. The knot was like clanking in an empty cave.

They keep quiet for a moment. He was deep inside.

Night continuous and the conversation liked to be one more. At night he tried to sleep. One question appeared beating his thoughts “who are you?”.

Nightmares and fever take him that night. Could be just causality but he developed a very strange illness. This illness keeps him on bed for several months.

She was besides him during that time. Reading for him. Taking care of him.

Something happens to him. I am not able to explain it fully but whatever was changing him forever. He left the king of live he was enjoying and nowdays is changing the way people look and practice leaderships around the world.

Some times a question can change your whole life.

Who are you?
