Fate

Fate, a power believed to control events in our life. In other words fate is destiny. Just like the saying goes: “What is to happen is to happen and can’t be stopped.” Fate is also the force or principle believed to predetermine events. Another way you could say fate is: “The will or principle or determining cause by which things in general are believed to come to be as they are or events to happen as they do.”

First of all, some people say there is no fate and we control the events in our life, but they can’t decide when we will be born, live, or die. Most of us do think there is fate, because no one knows the future or more as the events of our life. Also the people who believe in fate know that we can’t stop what is destined to happen.

For example look at Mahatma Gandhi he had fate and knew that his destiny was: “To stop the British army from invading India,” so he did what he thought he had to do and that was to give independence. That is why most people believe in fate because we can’t stop what is destined to happen.

This is just like what Santiago did in the story. He sold his herd of sheep because he had a dream that he was to find a treasure. So then he went to find the treasure he was dreaming about with fate.

There are things in life that we as humans are meant to do. Also my prediction is that everyone is meant to do something. Sometimes I think that I am meant to be a doctor that will help the world to have a healthier future. I think I am meant to do this because in India I help my grandfather in his clinic.

Just for an example look at Obama, who at a small age found out that he was meant to be the president of the United States some day just by a vision he had. So he followed that vision to the top.

Sometimes when we think we weren’t meant to do anything, we do something good at random, not knowing what we did. Just like when I was discussing about a project and my friend said something out of random and that got us a great idea.

We humans (some) have dreams. My dream is that one day I will become a well respected scientist and by that, one day I will find a cure to all types of cancer in one pill. My dream is to do this because I always want to help people, and make a better world for everyone to live in, with fate.

For my dream to come true my whole family is morally supporting me and will be supporting me. My family is the best supporter a person could ever have because when ever I am feeling low they boost up my confidence.

Yes, I do feel that I have the power to make my dream into reality. I think this because I have the two main thing I need. So, for me those two main things are the support from my family and my confidence. Also because I am focused on my aim (goal) and working very hard towards the top of my goal. Another thing is that I am willing to be a doctor so I could help people in other ways as well.

This is another thing what Obama did, he said that he felt he had the power to make his dream into reality. So he worked on it and made his dream into reality. Exactly the same thing also happened to Martin Luther King. This is also what I want to do.
