We can't always "decide" how things will turn out. We can decide to take actions which we hope will lead to our desired outcome.

Is my sentence incorrect?

Things here means the things that happen in our lives. I wrote thing instead of things (typo error). Can we use "thing" with this meaning?

When I read 'the thing' in post#1, I guessed it was an object such as a device designed to do something.

So can it (thing) be used with the meaning that was my intented meaning in post#1? (Could you also please tell me whether this sentence is correct or not?).
