Yes!
We tend to look back at turning points, high points, moments and hours that were set aside from time like an exclamation point at the end of a run-on sentence. The good--and the bad.
Yours is good.
Mine is when I had won a great scholarship and decided to go to college.
I picked the wrong one; and it wrecked by chances in a fast-disintegrating social order 1959.
But that was a good time too--that same month I figured out what was missing in the world--a definition of how to define scientific categories and dedicated my life to finding the missing concepts. It took 30 years; but I did it. How bad is that?
Thanks for asking.
Star coming.
