In a sense... though I don't believe it's written in stone. And most of it is our doing, with a little luck. You don't hear of too many people suddenly "making it big" and they didn't do anything at all to get there.

I definitely believe in fate and destiny. Everything happens for a reason.

Yes, I believe in fate and destiny and I believe that we are responsible for creating them both for ourselves.

offcourse being a muslim i believe on that
The sixth and final article of Islamic belief, as detailed by a famous prophetic Tradition,1 is belief in destiny, its good and evil. The Arabic word for destiny, qadar, implies the measuring out of something or fixing a limit to it
Early Muslims would simply define destiny as knowledge that what hits you was not going to miss you, and that what misses you was not going to hit you
The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) has explained some of the practical implications of this belief in his saying, “If something befalls you, don’t say: If only I would have done such and such, rather say: Allah foreordained this, and whatever He wishes, He does; for verily the phrase ‘if only I would have’ makes way for the work of Satan” (reported by Muslim).
The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) asked one of his Companions, “Shall I not guide you to words that are a treasure from the treasures of Paradise?” He said, “Of course, O Messenger of Allah!” The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, “There is no ability or power except through Allah” (reported by Bukhari and Muslim). The reality of these words is the crux of a full and proper understanding of qadar.

I believe that some things are pre-determined by previous events but not everything is pre-ordained and we have a great deal of freedom in shaping and changing our own destiny through our choices and actions.

"I don't know if we each have a destiny, or if we're all just floating around accidental-like on a breeze, but I, I think maybe it's both. Maybe both is happening at the same time." I think Gump said it best :)

Yes. I believe that ones life follows patterns determined by ones socio-economic culture and the paths taken. Basically that your life will have a foreseeable future based on where you take it. I believe we can control our behaviors that change those paths.

Only in the sense that free will is just an illusion and doesn't exist in reality.
