I remember watching a show on this about 2 or 3 years ago (???) - it was pretty interesting.

I think back to people I knew in school, here and abroad - the ones that everyone would have thought were really going to 'be' something - who ended up working in Woolies with 4 rug rats around their ankles by the time they were 21 (no offence to anyone here btw).... and then the ones who you thought were going to be Monday Morning Book jobs / single parents with no hope .... who actually ended up being Diplomats working for the British Embassay in faraway lands. It's lovely to see the underdogs actually coming out on top sometimes.

Life is indeed surprising and a wonderous sight to behold at times.
