Sort of a complicated question, I'll try to ask. How was I born me and not another?

If you had different experiences or made different choices, you would be experiencing a different self identity.

Which is basically just saying, "If you weren't you, you would be someone else."
Not quite, you would be a different branching version/potential of yourself, but it would not be the exact same self.

And how much of "you" is determinable by you? If I had chosen to master business and make millions a month I might think of myself either a self made genius or a parasitic opportunist of the system, on the much larger other hand, my employees might consider me a god send or a devil. Who/what am I?
