How many chances do we get to "make things right" or "right a wrong"? Could this be one of them..most profound?

I heard the poem "Invictus" being quoted by a group of young men on a bridge on TV. I also saw a clip of Nelson Mandela being honored in the early 90's and heard him say a few words reflecting it.

Is is Master of my Fate Captain of my Soul?
Or Captain of my Fate Master of my Soul?

Either way are you?
