In this quote Pip is referring to that in your life, the good and bad things that happen because of one thing happening on a different memorable day in your life. This day has altered him in a way that he finally realizes that everything happens for a reason, and there is always more coming up around the corner. Pip is older in age and maturatiy in chapters 10-16 in contrast to chapters 1-9. Some of the changes are positive, since now he has a want to learn and do something with his life that he really wants. There are some negative changes though, because now he's losing some of his innocense of a child and happiness with who you are. Before he didn't care if he was common, but now because of Estella all he wants is to be uncommon. But he is wanting knowledge now and to be a gentleman, which is good.
A memorable day that began my chain was when I moved in 5th grade to the house I live in now. I didn't move far at all, but I know that things would be different if I hadn't of moved. For instance one of my good friends Shelby lives across the street from me know, and whenever there's no school or something I can just walk over there instead of needing to wait for a ride. It's possible that if I hadn't of moved we might have not been as good of friends in middle school. A lot of my character was helped shaped by Shelby, and our parents becoming good friends when we moved to the neighborhood. I know that little things in my character would be different if that day hadn't of happened.
