(10 points)In 1982, I was a young marketing person in a company in Mumbai. I had a very senior colleague named Paul, who taught me how to 36 marketing effectively and how to deal with life 37 .It was one of those 38 daysmanagement, sales calls, planning my travel schedule, booking hotels, arranging appointments and the 39 was endless. By the end of the day, I was not only exhausted but was getting 40 . It was at this time that Paul invited me to his house to have a rest.We made our way to Pauls house. Although 41 after a days hard work, I was excited to chat with Paul and 42 his rich experience in marketing. As we entered his house 43 the main door, Paul started singing his favourite song, I have a dream. I was in no 44 to listen to his song. I only wanted to hear about how he handled 45 sales calls.As I leaned over Pauls shoulder to tell him that, two young girls walked up to Paul and hugged him.

To my 50 , Paul told me they were his daughters and they were born as “ 51 children” (mentally disabled). His wife died and he was both Mother and Father to them.I was moved to tears. In the office, no one knew what Paul was 52 in his personal life. He never looked for 53 from his friends and colleagues. On the contrary, he always helped us at the office.
