If I would have been born a hundred years earlier, the big decisions in my life would have been made for me -- meaning I would have stayed in the town that I was born in; I would have very much likely entered the same profession that my dad did; and I would have very much likely married a woman that my mom had selected.
Jika saya dilahirkan seratus tahun lebih awal, keputusan-keputusan besar tentang hidup saya sudah akan diputuskan bagi saya -- artinya adalah saya akan tinggal di kota tempat saya lahir; Saya akan sangat mungkin untuk memiliki profesi yang sama dengan ayah saya; dan saya akan sangat mungkin untuk menikahi wanita yang dipilih ibu saya.
