Secret #1:
"The Unexpected Auditioning"
We can easily forgive a child for being afraid of the dark, but
the real tragedy in life is when adults are afraid of the light. - Plato
"IMAGINE you
were sleeping wearily on your bed, your mind gazing shrilly on a dream you’d
once had years ago while still growing up as a child – the dream of becoming a
media guru, a top show TV presenter in one of the popular media outfits.
But as it is now, maybe after twenty years or so, all

A masterpiece of opulence and Jacuzzis, living in a
crisp environment where the air is clean and invigorating, in an architectural
bullet-building overlooking the White House with exquisite furniture, Australian

giant cathedral of poverty and hunger.
