Luck or fate? Anyone familiar with these words? What image do you get when you hear these terms? Throughout my whole life so far, some say it’s nonsense, but some say it happens and no one can escape it. If you ask me, I say that I believe in it. I don’t say this for no reason. Having faced either some simple or even stronger evidence, I can tell you that I have my own reasons for believing this. And what about you?

The simplest evidence that makes me believe that nobody can avoid anything if it is their luck or destiny is work. Yeah! I’m talking about what I’m doing now for a living. Guess what?! Now I work in a web hosting company that deals with computer technologies and websites, software and others that are really new to me since I graduated from the English Department, which of course, learning computer science is only a small part. I always told myself that I didn’t want to study what my older brothers studied (they studied computing) and I didn’t want to do what they do. But look at me now, I’ll hardly be any different from them. I know that I am really just the technical writer for the company and I am still using the English language that I have been studying in my work. However, if I don’t improve my IT knowledge base, how can I write good articles? So, I can tell you that this is destiny. Well, or maybe possibly karma (I absolutely believe in that too) because I always said “no” to what my brothers do.

Any other evidence to share with you? Religion. I had never changed my religion once. I originally believe in Japanese Buddhism. This is the religion that has spread through all my blood since I was born. However, when I was in high school, around grade 8, I was shaky about this. I thought I liked it and would prefer another religion better than this one. But then, after four years, I realized that this is not me at all. I felt that something was missing and there was an emptiness in me. I tried to put up with it and neglected it. However, after a year, I didn’t think I would be able to keep it up again. I knew at that moment that this was not what I could go on. That was the most appropriate moment to decide. Whats Next? I return to what I should not have left before. Now I am back as a believer in Buddhism, which I am sure is the best thing I can trust my life with. You can say that this is just my own choice, but I think this is fate or fate or whatever.

Of course, you can try to achieve, choose, get what you want in life. Everyone must fend for himself and put all possible efforts for anything. However, if their luck or destiny doesn’t allow them that, they can’t blame anyone if they don’t succeed. Everyone can also choose what they don’t feel like doing or what they don’t feel like being. However, if it’s their luck or destiny, I’m sure they won’t be able to help it. Certainly, every person on this earth has their own fate or destiny to move forward.
