    Are you where you are today more due to fortunate turns of events or is your life pretty much as you planned it?

    Based on the opening sequence of 'Look who's talking', I'd have to say my life is very serendipitous.

    If you can read this, you're too close!

    My life isn't how I planned but it's how I expected it to be.

    I hope my life in 5 years will be like I planned.

    I wanted to be involved in the dance music and entertaninment industry since hearing the prodigy in 92 and have got to where I planned. I promote good events, have a dj residency and have started to make my own music. Life is good :)

    My life isn't going as planned, so I imagine I've gotten this far through a series of unfortunate events...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,161 ✭✭✭✭M5


    My life is so stupendously serendipitous that i'm simply stunned


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,035 ✭✭✭Wild_Dogger


    Always a product of your circumstances and experience to date


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 72 ✭✭silasrat


    very serendipitous,still sailin through life one fortunate event after another,with minimal effort i might add.....


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,001 ✭✭✭ColmDawson


    I don't think anything particularly good or bad has just happened to me (without my input, I mean).

    My life, at the point, has being more ruled by a series of fortunate and unfortunate events and a few planned events.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,345 ✭✭✭Dunjohn


    It can't be serendipity. Anything that looked even remotely serendipitous - that book contract, that job move, among others - ended up falling through and leaving me even worse off. And it can't be planning, because nobody in their right minds would plan to be where I am now.

    I'm jynxed. That's how serendipitous I've been.

    my life is very serendipitous.well it has been for the past two years anyways....hopefully im done, i LIKE planning ahead!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,007 ✭✭✭pretty-in-pink


    in parts....but mostly its just been a whole big pile of random. though maybe my lack of monetary super success (I was going to be so many things) is making someone else more successful.

    my next aim is getting the "m"s in a row, and also winning the lotto so I don't have to work except for fun :cool:

    Bit of both. I knew where I was going but luck played its part too.

    Planned is boring.

    Everyone has a plan until you get punched in the face. Bet you hadn't planned that, did you?

    I'm still in my current job because I got redundancy once from here. I stayed off work for 8 months and was pushed to do a job interview for a crappy courier/freight company - I hated it with a passion and quit every week for a month until I actually left properly one Friday. The next Monday morning I get a call from my old workplace asking me if I wanted to come back.
