Frankly i am surprised that people can even believe in such a concept. I am of the opinion that you control your own life, nothing in life is predetermined. The reason you win or lose is because of your hardwork or lack of it. I also personally feel that people just use fate as a way to escape from their own mistakes. What about you?

Yes, i do believe in fate, but only positive fate and yes i do believe hard work and pray can change the negative fate, because our fate is in our hand. If you born poor and you not do anything to change the fate(poor) for the rest of your life will be a poor man, but if you not give up on your fate (poor) and do anything to reach your dream your negative fate (poor) surely will change.

I don't believe in fate. I believe that you are the person who control your fate. Your fate depends upon your decisions. It is like a flow diagram which has so many decision boxes. For each decision, if you decide yes, there will be a process, and if decide no also there will be a process. So, you decide your fate depends on your decisions in life. If I have chosen Engineering instead of Math I would have had a differnt life. The flow chart goes on.

Now that's interesting..your opinion on fate. I've always believed I've had the power to control my own destiny but sometimes things happen that I have no control over. This usually puts me in an unfavorable position even when I've done all I can to ensure the desired outcome. When it doesn't happen the way I plan or envision, that's when I resort to having being fated...granted there are times when I haven't worked as hard as I should or I've made decisions by default (not exercising my right to choose) but when I know I've done everything in my power to make something happen and it doesn't, I think its fate, and when this happens I hope and pray there's a blessing in the lesson, if that makes sense.

I strongly believe in fate. Because i believe The God's plan, which i call it with fate. That's right that we have full control of our destiny, but it's not available on all case. No one ever wanted to be born in conflict area, being on war zone, nor suffering starving. Could anyone change those destinies? No one could. I believe only one thing regarding to the fate. We could planning but the final decission is in God's hand. Have a nice day and happy mylotting.
