I've discussed this before in this post.  Had I not dug from the discarded pile a business magazine where there was an interview with a person that was a friend of my dad, this person wouldn't have suggested to me some years later to go to study to Finland, so I wouldn't have landed the job I held for some years, I wouldn't have met a lot of people who are important for me and most importantly, I wouldn't have met my soon-to-be wife.
