As I was reading the article about the nike email conversation, I could'nt help seeing a chain reaction of events that led him to follow his destiny. I totally relate to this story because I believe that our destiny looks for us and is up to us to recognize it and follow it. For a long time I really didi'nt know what i wanted to study for a career in my life. It was so hard because I liked so many things and it seems like you can only choose one. I decided to go for architecture since it was very artistic and I really liked drawing and making lego cities since a little kid, but as I continued I felt as if this was not enough.One day flying from Puerto Rico back to the US, I get to sit next to this kid who had recently graduated from film school and happened to live near by. Very interested in my thinking he starts to ask me my point of view of his projects. As I gave him my points of view he was fascinated with my ideas and quickly offered me to join him on his next project.It has now been 8 projects that i have worked on with him and the experiences and connections i made during my work has really shaped the dirrection of my life today.Film is such a complete field that it involves almost all aspects of creativity to collaborate one with each other and I noticed that I felt empty with architecture because it was missing this element. It's funny how a conversation with a stranger started a chain of events that ultimately changed the dirrection in my life, kind of like that kid's life and a simple e-mail to nike.

I think it is pretty cool how you started talking to this guy on the plane and you guys have worked on many projects since you've met. Its amazing what you can find out about a person once you get to know them because I am almost 100% positive that you NEVER thought that you would be going in the direction that you are going just by looking at this man who was sitting next to you! Its so hard not to judge people but you NEVER know what one has been through or even can offer you if you dont interact with them!

I have to disagree with you when you say someone’s destiny looks for them. Humans have the ability to decide and make choices; whatever decisions someone makes big or small ultimately affects their life.
