Surprise

For years I've thought and said that chance plays a big part in people's lives. I haven't heard many people agree with me. So, I was shocked when reading The Atlantic yesterday to see that Robert Frank, a well-known economist, agreed with me. In fact, he has written a book on the subject. Chance affects us all as where, when and to whom you are born is probably the major determinant of your life. I feel that chance played a major role in perhaps the two most important aspects of my life - who I married and how I spent my working career.
