Saw this quote and thought it was pretty interesting.  

"Destiny is not a matter of chance, it is a matter of choice; it is not a thing to be waited for, it is a thing to be achieved." William Jennings Bryan

Is that true?  Does Chance play a role in the outcome of our lives?  Could the chance encounter with someone through a wrench into your choice to do something.  Sure, i wholeheartedly believe that you can't sit around on your lorals and wait for soemthing to happen. You need to take the bull by the horn, sorry for the cliche, but it is true.  You achieve what you work towards. You achieve your goals, dreams, aspirations by going out and making things happen by making the right choices, or even in some cases the wrong choices. 

Thoughts?
