“...and I hate my job so much,” Bill finished. This was his fifth therapy session.

“Bill, your problem is that you’re always trying to do what you think others want. You need to do what you want,” the therapist said.

“Sir, the President is calling to surrender Earth. You now control the whole world,” his First Officer said excitedly.

Bill smiled. How right the therapist had been.
