Value over replacement event akin to the baseball statistic, value over replacement player: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Value_over_replacement_player

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.

Some common things that often have a significant impact on one's trajectory (vs the replacement level decision/event) include:

- moving to a new city/country

- getting hired for a new job

- who you marry

- what to study in college/where you attend

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.

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?
