"You students go through your lives, thinking very big ideas. I often call this bumpkin view. You might say "I choose this, I choose that". You think that you make "all" the decisions. I would say this. As much as you think that you choose your lives, life also chooses you. It is a mysterious relationship. If we don't understand this, we'll will make all sorts of trouble for ourselves. Our lives are a two way street! Remember this, the next time you are so-called picking something. Is that thing picking you as well?"
