Составить список всех (важных) жизненных событий, памятных дат, достижений, периодов, которые дали приятный и неприятный опыт, и т.п. В этом конкретном случае длинных списков не бывает, бывают плохо свернутые, поэтому пакуем сюда всё подряд, а про "лишние" события можно будет промолчать позже. Список должен быть систематизирован и отсортирован таким образом, чтоб читатель быстро понял "паттерн" и мог легко ориентироваться в пространстве и времени этого резюме.
