Crotchety Olde Man
If you were offered a choice in your early teenage years to either:
Be GUARANTEED an absolutely average life... no highs, no lows, no great successes but no epic losses, no horrible tragedies but no grand achievements
OR
Leave your life totally up to chance and your own capabilitirs. You might end up being the oldest person to ever live or die at 17 in a car crash. You might make a million dollars or end up a pauper. Or anywhere in between.
Which would you choose, and why?
