For me fate; detiny; good luck; all are synonyms. I believe that our destiny is already pre-determined. Our life is programmed one. We can't change it. We think that, everything.. whatever is happening in our lives are because of our efforts. But it is not always correct. Fate plays a great role in determining our destiny.

Just this type of thinking helps me to be positive. I accept whatever comes in my life. I accept everthing... success, failure, happiness, sorrow... whatelse everything.. I accept without blaming anybody. But, at the same time I never forget my duties, responsibilities... I put my level best to achieve my goals. Only thing I learned is DON'T EXPECT THE RESULTS. Leave it to GOD. He is there, it is his duty to give the appropriate one to us. We should not interfere in his duties. Be satisfied with whatever you got. Think better. Think positive. Don't compare with others.

When I was about 14 I was invited to a girls pool party at a big rich house on the hill. When I arrived all the kids were playing and having fun in the pool. I put on my swim trunks and I was getting ready to get in the pool, and one of the girls comments "Ewww, look a that kids chest", all the girls huddled together and gave a giant snicker. I knew she was talking about me and laughing at me. At that age, I had some hair on my chest, which was kinda odd for a kid my age. So like a kid, I just shrugged it off and matter of fact, I ended up playing with most of those girls and girl that owned the house. So, the party ended, I went home and thought nothing more for a long time.

Good Luck Can Lie in a Pin
by Hans Christian Andersen
(1869)

NOW I shall tell a story about good luck. We all know good luck: some see it from year’s end to year’s end, others only at certain seasons, on a certain day; there are even people who only see it once in their lives, but see it we all do.

Now I need not tell you, for every one knows it, that God sends the little child and lays it in a mother’s lap, it may be in the rich castle, and in the well-to-do house, but it may also be in the open field where the cold wind blows. Every one does not know, however, but it is true all the same, that God, when He brings the child, brings also a lucky gift for it: but it is not laid openly by its side; it is laid in some place in the world where one would least expect to find it, and yet it always is found: that is the best of it. It may be laid in an apple; it was so for a learned man who was called Newton: the apple fell, and so he found his good luck. If you do not know the story, then ask some one who knows it to tell it you. I have another story to tell, and that is a story about a pear.

There is a Chinese story of a farmer who used an old horse to till his fields. One day, the horse escaped into the hills and when the farmer's neighbors sympathized with the old man over his bad luck, the farmer replied, "Bad luck? Good luck? Who knows?" A week later, the horse returned with a herd of horses from the hills and this time the neighbors congratulated the farmer on his good luck. His reply was, "Good luck? Bad luck? Who knows?"

Then, when the farmer's son was attempting to tame one of the wild horses, he fell off its back and broke his leg. Everyone thought this very bad luck. Not the farmer, whose only reaction was, "Bad luck? Good luck? Who knows?"
