Lets leave it to fate.

I have frequently been having such words bumping around in my head. One can see it as an excuse, one can also see it as a way of consolation. Do we really leave things to fate? Do we just carelessly use the word 'fate' because we don't want to face the reality?

Nonetheless, I do agree that there are things in life where it is totally out of our control. No one could have predicted a typhoon will strike Taiwan and china recently in a year ago. So yes, fate do still play a role in our daily lives.

However, for certain 'fates' to occur, man must be pro-active in certain ways so that the probability of things that are 'fated' to happen will happen. For example, people said that its fated that the recent sub-prime financial crisis that just happened in the not too long distant past. Because, going by the trend then a financial crisis should have occur around this period.But,had someone or rather the US financial industry step in and rectify the problem of issuing sub-prime loans or derivatives to various parts of the financial market, then the crisis might not have happened. As one can see, this fated incident might not have happened, had there been some intervention by the authorities.Ultimately fate is still very much determine by what one does, or rather the amount of fate that one has. And maybe that's the reason I don't really believe in being lucky, and hence I don't really like lottery. Though I do buy lotteries during the CNY...lol...well humans all like the element of surprise mah...hehe...but of course I never win ever since my virgin experience.lol. Having said that, I don't mean that one have to keep buying until one day you strike big. Maybe one can studies the probabilities and gauge the probabilities of the number coming out? In this way, ur fated strike may be more frequent.

In a nutshell, without some work done, fate might not happened to u as well. But having said that, there are def. anomalies in life that no matter what one does, fate just seems to eludes you.=)
