['My friend was quite the nobody until he got a job and a girlfriend seemingly out of nowhere!', "Wow, that's good for him. What do you think changed for him?", 'I guess he just decided to get his life in order and it worked so well for him!']
That's cool! It's always good to hear when people decide to take a good step forward.
My friend was quite the failure in life for a while. Then out of nowhere he turned it all around and got a great job and even a girlfriend!
