You begin your journey not knowing where it will take you. You have plans, you have dreams, but every now and again you have to take uncharted roads, face impassable mountains, cross treacherous rivers, be blocked by landslides and earthquakes.
At each stage, it is a crossroads. You take the road, you have changed directions, you proceed. There is no turning back.
So you cannot say that you planned your whole life. And that's why I feel life is a great adventure: exciting, unpredictable, and at times exhilarating. What is crucial is never to lose that joie de vivre, that zest for life, to watch the sun go down and wake up to a new day rested and refreshed after a good night.

Juggling: technical or performance?
Tech jugglers go for precision and clean tricks. They don't care much for flair, for making a trick look harder than it actually is. They want complicated tricks. Tech. juggling is harder to follow for the layman for this reason; they can't appreciate the difficulty of the tricks because they don't juggle. Their main audience is other jugglers, or they just juggle for themselves.
Performance jugglers go for style. They seek new or different ways to perform a trick, usually adding their own personal touches to it. They often add plenty of artistic expression in their act, and their focus is not on complexity but on making a trick look smooth and interesting. They typically avoid very complicated tricks because their main audience are non jugglers who usually don't appreciate their complexity. Laymen audience are also a lot less forgiving if the juggler drops, hence there is also a very strong emphasis on perfection and never dropping.
