A Question For Seniors (but not only!)

If you have reached the so-called "mature" age - and still wish to know a bit more about yourself - ask the following question (also younger folks might benefit from such reflection): 

If it were possible, would I want to start living my life all over again (possibly in a different way)? 

Before answering, ponder upon the following: 

* Had you made a different career choice, now you would find yourself in a different situation. 

* Had you married someone else, you wouldn't have the children you have. 

* Had you chosen another life path, 

       - you wouldn't have had to face the challenges you faced, but 

         different ones, 

       -  you wouldn't have had "all" the experiences you have had

          throughout your life, 

       - most probably you wouldn't have met the friends you

         presently have.

 Now... go ahead and answer the question.
