Forlorn- A dark pit of hopelessness

Dear Coach, My younger brother has graduated from a very renowned University abroad, in Malaysia to be exact, and ever since he came back to the country about five (5) years ago he has not found a job in his profession.

He is qualified as a Economist. He get jobs that he is even over qualified to do. My brother has spent most of his time applying for a job after another and he was very consistent at it. He had big dreams about what he will accomplish when he earns his opportunity one day.

We will all gather as a family and he will start telling very funny tales about his future lifestyle. The cars, houses, business investments, the type of girl he will get married to, there was just a lot he would envision. I write to you because I have noticed that the fire that was burning in him has dimmed.
