WOX Blogosphere Magazine #142

I continue the initiative of small support of the best authors. 60% of the reward from each issue will be given to the three authors whose articles were most frequently published in the magazine in the last 10 issues (20% to each author).

This time the leaderboard looks like this:

And now let's move on to today's issue.

Late Night Musings: Speculating on Alternative Choices not Made

Do you ever find yourself wondering about how your life might have turned out if you had made a different choice at a particular point in your life, rather than the choice you actually made to get to where you are right now?
