Where would they be today?

I thought of a fun game to play, being a competitve musician is not as much a matter of talent as it is luck. I won the luck of the draw in having a father and mother who were such individuals. They obviously chose what mattered most and set a great exanple, but I thought how manny individuals chose similar paths and instead chose to influence lives another way though their great minds and talents prodded them on another way? Who would they have become if they had chosen soething other than my best interest?

 I think of this talk:

He talks about where he would be but how many people do you know that are as awesome as those you emulate but you do not notice because of what is seen?

How much is unseen?
