There's not just one decision; "I'm here because of a long chain of events"

I originally clicked through to this link because of a tweet:
"@brainpicker: Lovely, design students answer on anonymous post-its why they want to be designers http://ow.ly/19lWC"

But to me the above speaks to a lot more than just design.

We tend to think that decisions are made in the moment. They're not. Your next action (the one you're deciding on right now) is the product of all the decisions you've made leading up to this one.

There's not just one decision.
