Que sera sera

tags: cheerful  fatalism
After learning how to use Chrome browser, and different options of it - I feel like I know a lot about web.
Especially, when I am using the incognito browser as if I am hidden from the internet while the reality is that web addresses that I enter is like a open book that people can intercept.
Examples
We definitely do have control over our personal life, but to what extent and with what kind of effort? - is to be considered.
Personal life
Friends - Our friends do what they think they want to do, they chose to be with us vice versa. Don't I have a thinking at times that our friends are influenced a lot by us.
Body - We can with effort do change. Over the internet we do see a number, of 1 in 1000s of people,  of examples. This gives us an thought that we have control over body with food, and other efforts sometimes.
Work
Often our span of control is within the confines of the job description. If we are a data engineer with a managerial position our span of control would most likely be up to 5 people. But, there are a lot of departments even for the charismatic personality to influence. I do feel like I have more control over the so many things, we do if we ask people the desk we need and the timings etc. Many people don't ask, right?
Political
Yes, we have control. But, 1 in population of a country i.e., 1:1000 000 000.
Cricket
Yes, we have control. How, (the ticket price) / (total cost of hosting the match + pay to various parties).
So what now
Circle of competence
The circle in which we have better control.
If we are a bridge designer, in the design phase of the project we can design and deliver drawings
A highway designer, ability to shape a city transport and map to an extent. Which could further influence the land improvement along.
Other than the circle of competence, it is Que sera sera.
