Many of us wish to live a life of our choice.But some times unexpected incidents occur which change the entire course of our life.After the incident we lead a different life which we may like or which we may not like.That is a different matter.Some are lucky that whatever they wish and plan happens.In my case I wanted to become a laywer from my boyhood and waseagerly preparing and dreamingd to go to another place to study law.I was the place but fortunately or unfortunately I missed my train and I could not go in time.As I was late I could not secure a seat in Law college.But i could immediately secure a job which I accepted and continued.As I was doing well I dropped the idea of becoming a lawyer.I liked my job and rose upto a high position.Now i have no regarts.Any incident changed the course of y0our life..?

Yes. I was single and living a very nice lifestyle. I had no intentions on getting married as I hadn't run into anyone worth committing the rest of my life to. Then, while on vacation my sister insisted we not go home till we made one last stop at a ski resort. I wanted to drive right by. It was the end of the weekend and everyone had gone home. She persisted so I pulled in. I met my husband. That was over thirty years ago!

I met my wife. now I'm married and never been happier in my life. If I hadn't met my wife when I did I would still be going around doing useless stuff and going nowhere.

marriage makes one re-evaluate his life and his priorities. It allows one more room to be responsible in life. Glad to hear your wife made you abetter man as well.

So meeting your would be wife changed the course of your life.Good.So you must be grateful to her as she brought change for good in your life.For many people it happens that their life partner brings luck.In fact it happened to me also.I was a very depressed and worried man before marriage but things have changed after marriage and I am a happy man now...

Thinking about it, I haven't really experienced any life-changing incidents. Some people are kind of lucky to experience this as they get to become better in life and it's kind of a blessing in disguise.

It ia not necessary some incident should occur to every one.Without any incident also if you are happy it is well and good.Don't bother about any incident.For some people incidents change the course of their lives for good.Some are unlucky when such incidents bring misery in their lives.Here we are concerned with good things only...

So what your teacher said in ypour ypounger days has change the course of your life and you be ever grateful to her.Perhaps you did not relish her advise at that time because you were young.Now that you have grown up you realize the importance of her advice.Similarly some incidents change the course of life but we may not notice or recognize its importance at the relevant timme.All the best..

hello chayapathys!
life is full of options and detours. if you take any of this, such option and detour would yield something different from the other options and detours. Many incident had happened that changed the course of my life. For one i had planned to take up law but instead ended up finishing Accountancy, because i happen to see an old friend and she got in line for the accountancy department enrollment instead of law. if i had opted to apply earlier for the job training in our office before, i would not have met my boyfriend now. so many options, so many scenarios..

Life offers so many openings and oportunities.We have to choose one of them and we cannot choose all.Some small incident happens which makes us to choose a different option than what we have originally planed.Yhat makes a lot of differnce and many times we are happy about.Thank god you have not joined law otherwise you would not have met your boy friend.Glad that the change has brought you good in your life..

You have a different kind of experience which made you courageous in life.You have realised that outward behaviour is not inner strength.As long as you are firm in your convictions which are good and noble it does not matter what others say or feel.Courage only takes you a long way in life.Never get frieghtened.All the best..

Yes, I already experienced changing the course that I take, literally. When I was in highschool, I wanted to take BS. Information Tachnology and I thought I could easily pass all the subjects of that course and graduate fast and I can already imagine working related to my course. But I was wrong, it wasn't easy as it seems. My college life was a mess. I changed my course to Mass Communication, my preferred course when I was in grade school and now, I'm so much happy with my life.

So the incident in your life has changed the course of your life completely for good and you have no regrets.If your original plans had materialised ,perhaps, you might be facing tensions and your life would have been miserable.Thus good things happen when some unexpected incident occurs in our life some time or the other.All the best..

There have actually been a lot of things that have happened in my life that have really made an impact on the person that I've become. However, the most recent was something that happened less than a month ago, that was the fact that I've always been a very giving person. However a girl that I thought was a friend of mine really took advantage of my generosity and I really don't think that there will be a time in my life that I will be as giving again as I've been in the past.

So many incidents have changed the course of your life and you have become very generous.Of course some people take undue advantage of your goodness also at times.But you cann't hekip it.By that we should not loose our good qualities.Some incidents give us un pleasant experience.Your greatness lies in forgiving and forgetting bad experiences."If you don't forgive you will never grow"...

Seeing the sufferings of the poor and the like have changed your outlook on life.That is very good of you.Service to humanity is service to God.Making the best efforts and using our resources we should be. of service to the society.God also likes such people and He showers His blessings on them .You have also developed contentment which is also very good.

Yes, there's one incident that really did change the course of my life. About a year ago, I left a pyramid scheme that maxed me out on my credit. And with the calloused response from my former upline (also was a family friend) that I didn't work the business hard enough, I really got to thinking exactly what are my priorities in life really are, and it even changed my attitude towards materialism and finances. I have roughly 10 more years to go before my debt is totally paid off, but I know now to establish an emergency account. I also want to live as close to Nature as I possibly can. I don't know why, but for some reason Nature may even be our provider, if there should be a huge crisis.
Before I was irresponsible and a bit selfish, now I don't even want material things, I just want to be content with my loved ones.
