Good or Bad choices can effect history.
When the Detroit Pistons had the second choice in the NBA draft, they chose Darko Milicic a 7 foot center from Europe. He was very young and raw and the Pistons thought he might be Dirk Nowitzki type player. It turned out that he was a bust and eventually the Pistons got rid of him and he is now at best a journey player not a star. Carmelo Anthony, Chris Bosh and Dwyane Wade were the three picks taken after him. All are stars approaching super star status. Right now the Pistons are near last place due in large measure to that decision; with any of the other picks they would be right in the thick of things. Bad Choice!
When I was in college I met a lovely girl. She was (and is) smart, kind, and beautiful. I met her on a date with a friend who would later be my roommate. She was his date on a double date with me and my date (I don't remember who was my date) to a movie. Later I got to know her better, I even helped her with a Calculus exam for Social Science. She eventually was a roommate with the girl that my friend (above) ended up marrying.
I asked that beautiful girl to marry me and she said YES. This is the woman that I have been married to for over 41 years. We have had 3 children and now have 5 grandsons. She is a wonderful mother and helped raise our kids who married excellent spouses (ones who are worthy of them). Good Choice!
