Ask HN: Help me find an article that I read on here about a year ago?
About a year or so ago, I read an article that I really enjoyed and want to pass on to people (and read again myself!). I can't find it and was wondering if anyone on here knows the article I'm talking about. The gist of it was:
- It was an article about change in your life and how you'll never know what you like until you take a risk of changing your life.
- It mentioned something along the lines of "what are the chances that you were born in the town/city that you will enjoy the most, work in the job that you will enjoy the most etc"
- It also talked about how even if you don't like the new thing you've tried, you'll never know that unless you try it and by doing so, you may realise what you currently have is exactly what you want.
Any ideas? I really can't find it :(
