The turning-point of my life from what is man? and other stories by mark twain (extract) now what interests me, as regards these details, is not the details themselves, but the fact that none of them was foreseen by me, none of them was planned by me, i was the author of none of them. circumstance, working in harness with my temperament, created them all and compelled them all. i often offered , and with the best intentions, but it was rejected—as a rule, uncourteously. i could never plan a thing and get it to come out the way i planned it. it came out some other way—some way i had not counted upon. and so i do not admire the human being—as an intellectual marvel—as much as i did when i was young, and got him out of books, and did not know him personally. when i used to read that such and such a general did a certain brilliant thing, i believed it. whereas it was not so. circumstance did it by of his temperament. the circumstance would have failed of effect with a general of another temperament: he might see the chance, but lose the advantage by being by nature too slow or too quick or too doubtful. once general grant was asked a question about a matter which had been much debated by the public and the newspapers; he answered the question without any hesitancy.
