Many times I asked myself this question: what if?

Many times I asked myself this question: what if? How has my fate would be if the teacher did not scold, and praised me? There would be my interest in these issues and I would write my books? 
Of course, this I know it is not given. But I can answer questions on Joseph and his brothers. When he opened his own name the brothers, they were afraid that he will avenge them. But he said what happened is that it drew God. All this is part of God's plan - to send him to Egypt, to make the ruler of the land and build inventories in anticipation of the impending famine, to rescue his father and all his relatives. 
When Joseph's brothers returned to Canaan and transferred to his father Jacob, Joseph's words that they need to move to Egypt, Jacob hesitated. But in his "night vision" was God, and said: "... do not be afraid to go to Egypt, because they will make of thee a great nation, I shall go with thee into Egypt, and I will bring you back." Calmed down, he, together with all his native traveled to Egypt, and when the time came, his offspring were derived from Egypt - as promised. 
Perhaps my fate was predetermined, too? Maybe not the approval of the teacher just might be - the Lord is before me to hear of his reprimand. 
It is likely that this was determined by my desire to see the work of Joseph and aggressively look for a real Mount Sinai.
