Fate awaits....

Fate and opportunities

I saw this from a friend's blog..
'Sometimes i believe you must create your own opportunities in order for fate to exercise their will. No doubt most people believe in "Fate" playing their part in creating opportunities, but fate has its limitations. Most of the time, "fate" creates the optimum situation favourable for things to happen, but humans being humans, the innate ability to capture that split second moment "chance"is severly lacking thus everyone often reflect on hindsight bias of " what ifs". Opportunities and "fate" do not come knocking twice and do we emphasis the importance of "fate" while waiting for the opportunity to come knocking?... Do you really believe that i'm always in school till the time that you finish lesson so that we can have dinner together?? ... i'm creating an opportunity here.. Do you really believe that i really love this coz you love this? ... i'm trying to create a common topic here... so how do you actually define fate? Is it so natural that everything falls in place with nothing done? Or is there effort needed to create chance opportunities? '

Reading this reminds me of the movie' Turn left, turn right'. The characters in the movie tried so hard to see each other again.. we can't say that they never made any effort to create opportunities. They exchanged numbers to keep in touch but both lost their numbers at the same time... They are searching for each other constantly.. without knowing the other is just close by. It's fate that makes them meet each other.. yet may be it's fate that they always miss each other too.. in the end an earthquake helped to let them see each other again. Is this fate or wat?? sometimes things are beyond out control.. we tried and tried but we may not get what we want. We can only try very hard and pray for the best. Some things may happen because they are meant to be..however I do believe you must create opportunities in order for fate to exercise their will. We can't just wait around for opportunities to come to us.. if so why bother to study hard?? why try so hard to woo a girl?? what are meant to be yours, will be yours.. I used to think that only pessimistic people will totally agree with this saying. However sometimes when things are out of your control even a usual optimistic person will console himself with this cliche saying.

Well, I am proud to say I have made the first move to find out the name... hahaa but I simply lack the courage to create further opportunities.. may be may be one day I will.. may be.
