In my limited experience, neither has influenced my goals whatsoever. For example, in order to do well in school, a student must work diligently in order to gain the knowledge necessary for post-secondary school. That same student cannot be dependent on his destiny to get accepted into their ideal university or to achieve the career one wants. One who believes in destiny might consider everything is given to them on a silver platter simply because they believe in destiny. On the other hand, I do not accept destiny as the truth; I know from personal experience that I have to work hard to achieve what I want and cannot just be handed things in life. Although from time to time I am reluctant to admit that I indeed take these two into consideration before an epiphany arises in my mind. Then I realize that realistically our mind is a theatre, in which all our emotions play a role. There are no small roles in this theatre; each feeling will lead to another. But we are playwrights, and we choose to tamper with our script merely to influence the way we want our life to turn
