“Let's pretend that one of the few days in your life has not happened… Who knows how different the course of your destiny would have been? While you are reading these lines, stop for a moment and think about the long chain that surrounds your life… Whether it is made of iron, gold, or thorns… If one of those few days had not been lived and its first link had not been formed, this chain would never have been knitted.” Charles Dickens
