Fate or Choice-Twenty Years After Our First ACE

摘要

One of mankind's oldest questions is whether our lives are determined by fate or by free choice. We've all known that person who has unexplainable good luck, and we think-it must be fate. And we also know that person who, if they didn't have bad luck, wouldn't have any luck at all, and we think-hmm, must have made some bad choices. It is a great question-fate versus choice-and although I tend to subscribe to one over the other, there are moments that leave me scratching my head, like when I met Shirish Kardile. Shirish is a consulting engineer from India and a longtime member of AWWA. Shirish and I met for the first time in November 2013, but unbeknownst to us, our lives have been connected for 20 years.
