The Path Not Taken...

Every life is a series of choices and outcomes. Sometimes, the outcomes are good, sometimes they are bad. Very often, you do not have sufficient data or time to arrive at the best choice. Your egos, relationships, prejudices all come in the way as well.

However, recently I have seen/heard several people brag about how the choices that they made were superior just 'cos the outcomes are superior. I find this irksome. Hindsight is always 20/20. And its extremely easy to take credit when things go right. As they say "success has many fathers, while failure is an orphan".

You never know where the path not taken would have led - you can only speculate !
