Craig will be a generally good person. Largely because his life plan seems to show him making benevolent decisions, and also because he needs to prove to the world that he's not only good because he has been told he will be.

He will also be brave, as he knows that whatever he does with his life, he will inevitably be led to certain decisions. This means he'll probably be outgoing, not afraid to be adventurous because fate has a plan for him.

He used to rebel against the decisions, at one point postponing a decision and leaving it to a flip of a coin. However, even though the coin read to go against his fated decision, Craig chose it anyway... possibly due to a close relationship with someone with a neurological disease, who he hopes the decisions will lead him to help.

I might be cool if there was a person in his life, someone he hurt as a result of making a decision, and hopes subsequent decisions will rectify, or someone who gives him a reason to continue on his fated path.

What is it in Craig's life that makes him so open to listening to a stranger's predictions that reach for into his future?

How would this stranger establish credibility with Craig so that his predictions would be taken seriously?

What would happen if Craig tried to use his knowledge for vast personal gain or the purposes of vengeance? For instance, if part of the prediction involved him working for a very successful company, he'd know to invest in that company even before he went to work for it.

Having foreknowledge as extensive as that which is revealed to Craig heaps a ton of responsibility onto him. Is he up for that challenge? Does he buckle under the temptation to use his knowledge selfishly.

Once Craig accepts/sees that the stranger was correct about his predictions of Craig's future, I'd imagine it would become very difficult for Craig to make decisions or possibly think for himself, having had access to this unusual oracle as a youth.

I would imagine Craig being very indecisive about things that fall outside the boundaries of the stranger's predictions.

Or, maybe Craig looks to other people to be like the stranger. He might rely on friends or girlfriends to direct him in ways that make them uncomfortable.

Craig would have strong professional and academic connections, but again, anything that falls outside what he was told by the stranger might be a complete puzzle to him.

People learn through their mistakes, through trial and error. The stranger eliminated this for Craig, pointing the way for him. So, in other facets of life, Craig would probably have very under-developed decision-making skills.

People are taught from an early age to be wary of strangers, so I'd wonder what it was about this particular stranger that broke through that socialization.

Moreover, I'd wonder why Craig accepted what the stranger said.

Considering the detail and how far into the future the stranger's knowledge and advice goes, I could see Craig having a hard time believing any of it.

Maybe he stumbles into a few things and then on reflection sees the stranger was right. For instance, maybe without even thinking about it, Craig takes the courses high school recommended by the stranger and they turn out to be his strongest subjects. Then, upon reflection he is reminded of what he'd been told and seeing how that part of the "prophecy" came true, gives some other advice from the stranger a try.
