<p>Are people’s lives the result of the choices they make?</p>
<p>People’s lives are the result of the choices they make. Although some might argue that one’s life course is affected by ‘luck’ or other factors, the fact remains that the way one’s life pans out is heavily determined by the choices he or she makes. A few compelling examples serve to illustrate my belief.</p>
<p>We can observe how decisions determine the careers of every sportsman. There used to be a footballer, Sean Phillips. Sean used to play for a mediocre team, Man City. He was the star player for City and had won them numerous matches. His team-mates depended on him and the fans adored him. But many experts felt that for Sean to fulfill his potential, he had to move to a bigger club. Then, Chelsea, one of the best teams in England offered Sean a contract. Sean had a decision to make. He could either stay at his current club and continue his football development or he could move to Chelsea and become a famous player and double his salary. Sean, fully aware that a place in the Chelsea team wasn’t guaranteed, chose to move. Unfortunately for him, the results were disastrous. Sean was just a bench player and didn’t feature at all in many matches. Whilst his pay packet was hefty, his footballing development stalled. His confidence dropped and he became a shadow of his former self. Sean’s career was ruined and he faded into obscurity. This example shows how a person’s own decision determined the course of his life.</p>
<p>Another example can be seen in the famous Urdu Novel, “The Drug Lord”. There are two characters, Osama and Khan, who are both best friends. They live in a village and are extremely poor. But then a drug dealer comes to them and makes them an offer. He tells them that they have to become agents and supply drugs to different addicts. He guarantees both of them that they will ‘earn’ a lot of money. But they would have to drop out of school. Osama accepts this offer but Khan doesn’t. Khan tries to convince Osama, but to no avail. Consequently, Osama gets caught in a police raid whereas Khan continues his studies and goes to college. Khan goes on to lead a good life whereas Osama’s life is ruined. This example shows that everyone is responsible for the way their life pans out. The path one’s life takes isn’t arbitrary.</p>
<p>People’s lives are the result of the choices they make. Though a part of our life is affected by ‘luck’, as the saying goes, “One makes his or her own luck”.</p>
