<p>Prompt: Are people's lives the result of the choices they make?</p>
<p>Everyday, every person on the face of the Earth is continually faced with new choices, different choices. And in response, everyday we pick our choices with the hope that it will be for the best. The outcomes of peoples lives are dependent on the choices they make.
There are many men and women who have attained positions of power throughout the world of politics and business. It has been a very popular trend in recent years to analyze the choices this group of people have made in their lives. Such fascination with the decisions made by the successful is evident throughout popular media. For instance, the television show The Big Idea with Donny Deutsch is chiefly dedicated to understanding how the rich and successful have become just that- rich and successful. This is accomplished in many instances by analyzing and aiming to comprehend the decisions made by the man of the hour. In addition, there are now thousands of seminars that aim to teach their audiences about responsible decision making, ranging from improving efficiency to decreasing procrastination among many other things. Why would all these people work to remove the myst covering the decisions made by those who have succeeded? Simply because by modeling those specific decision making abilities, many people wish to gain the same level of success in their lives!

The wealthiest people in the world have taken incredible risks to attain their level of wealth.

For instance, Bill Gates, the owner of the one of the largest conglamerates in the world, dropped out of college to pursue his dreams. He was considered precarious and a youth in respect to this decision by his family and friends alike. Nevertheless, he made the choice to start a business andit has allowed him to reach levels of success thought to be out of reach by the rest of his peers. In this case, the risky decision that Bill Gates made in his life has made all the difference for him.
Ultimately, as citizens of humanity, we are all given a shovel to pave out the path we wish to take in our lives. The way in which we use the shovel, or in other words, the decisions we made, decide the outcome of our road in life. </p>
