Exactly, you can't really plan or "make" life, it's one big adventure, you'll never know what you come across and that's how things are invented and progress is made ... except maybe when you're the son or daughter of a millionaire or billionaire and your life course is charted from cradle to grave, but to me that sounds utterly boring :-)

But, I do recognize (of course) that there are "best practices" and you shouldn't ignore the wisdom that's out there - don't reinvent the wheel and always think you know better, learn from others and especially from experts ... but, the path you take through life and the decisions you take are your own.
