This looks  much like those philosophies, which makes good reading but of little use  practically. But think again, isn't it more than that? I heard someone say,  before you preach something you should practice it yourself, but in that case,  the world would miss many great preachers ( and yes, a lot of politicians too).  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt; &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS';"&gt;I will try to put my point  with some examples. I never realized the importance of studies, even when my  parents used to pester me daily to study,at least not until I got an entrance  rank which could well be misunderstood as my mom's salary at that time. Or I  never realized the importance of my friends' advice when they asked me not to  rip my bike at least till the engine breaks in, but when I did realize, my bike  was already a clutter of useless metal. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt; &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS';"&gt;The good news is that some  things have solutions, like when I did poorly for entrance, I made that up with  my degree course and earned a job with a salary figure that beat my entrance  figure by a good margin. But, not all things work like that, my bike would never  be the same, it will never run the way other bikes do and there is very little I  can do. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt; &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS';"&gt;Many might think, "this is  the way we are made, some things are meant to happen, and there is nothing we  can do about it. It is all FATE". But is that actually the case? You have to  &lt;em&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS';"&gt;realize&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/em&gt; that, at  least before it is too late. I can work hard and earn some cash to get a new  bike, we may encounter bigger debacles which would be hard to come out  of, though we can still get out of the sense of guilt saying it is fate to  blame, but that will only help us get out of the guilt, nothing more, it would  definitely not help you get a bike to go around with your girl  friend(s).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt; &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS';"&gt;So, what am I trying to  prove here? Fate is just a placeholder, a dummy pointer to point to when you  don't have an answer to give. Think about this, you ask your physics professor,  "sir, why does an electron revolve around the nucleus?" and he replies,  "Oh..well. That is its fate..." Won't that sound absurd? If it does, then the  same applies to the n-number of instances when we put the blame on fate, when we  don't want to fight it out and find an answer. When I fail, it is just because  of me, I did not realize some important ingredient for the victory, and fate has  nothing to do with it. So, all I can do is try, figure out, and realize what  that ingredient is and put that into the equation. And just one more of those  punch lines before I end, please understand that life never gives you a second  chance,as people think. YOU have to grab yourself your second, third or whatever  chance you want to take. It all about you.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9171575334415435342-4589617376718292842?l=matinglife.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://matinglife.blogspot.com/feeds/4589617376718292842/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=9171575334415435342&amp;postID=4589617376718292842' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9171575334415435342/posts/default/4589617376718292842'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/9171575334415435342/posts/default/4589617376718292842'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://matinglife.blogspot.com/2008/07/it-is-all-fate.html' title='It is all fate!!!'/><author><name>Codevalley</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry></feed>
