Value over replacement event akin to the baseball statistic, value over replacement player: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Value_over_replacement_player<p>While one's life is a product of a huge number of events/decisions, for most people, there are a small number of events/decisions that have far reaching impacts on their trajectory.<p>Some common things that often have a significant impact on one's trajectory (vs the replacement level decision/event) include:<p>- moving to a new city/country<p>- getting hired for a new job<p>- who you marry<p>- what to study in college/where you attend<p>Sometimes, far more narrow and specific things can change a persons life like deciding to travel somewhere, taking up a new sport, starting a blog etc.<p>I am very curious to hear, what events/decisions, where you could have easily chosen a different path that did not lead to the same outcomes, had the most positive impact on your life?
