If I look at my own life, I'm born in 1962 in Austria. 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.
Si observo mi propia vida, nací en Austria, en 1962, Si hubiera nacido 100 años antes, las grandes decisiones de mi vida habrían sido tomadas en mi lugar, es decir, me hubiera quedado en la ciudad en que nací; habría sido muy probable que hubiese seguido la misma profesión que tenía mi padre; y probablemente me hubiera casado con una mujer elegida por mi madre.
