We never no the long term effects of one specific instance of a specific decision. With hundreds of small decisions made every day, that's not what matters, though. PRINCIPLES matter. For example, we don't know WHEN we'll have a car accident. However, we know that always wearing a seatbelt and driving safely is smart. The construction guys who went on to own a successful construction company probably didn't know which people would turn out to be important customers, but they knew that by treating all people fairly would be good for their business in the long run.
Sorry professor. Please don't knock me down to a C. Aren't you the guy who thinks going to college is the way to success? If that was the case 70% of the young population would be successful, including those dirty educated hippies in the occupy movement. Most of the very rich did not do so well in school and did not find it very important. I can write much better if i took my time but I don't in such cases as long as i can get my ideas across, thats all that matters to me.

And as for small decisions...everything can be traced back. I wouldn't be working online if i didn't get into trouble with the law and was forced by law to not hang out with my friends and needed something else to do. I would never of known how much money there was to be made in adult if not for an email someone i didn't even know sent me after signing up to their mainstream free hosting. Hell if my dad wasn't friends with a guy who was so into computers maybe i never would of had the internet in my home to have the chance to do any of that until much later. Its all connected. None of this was a conscious decision towards anything but its part of what took me to a place where i was working for myself and making much more money than my peers.
