Right from childhood the only thing I have been hearing is “In order to be successful you need 80% of hard work and 20% of luck”. If such is the case then where does fate stand. Does it not have any value in our life? I would rather say that “80% is hard work, 19% is luck and 1% is fate”. This 1% is of vital importance. The reason is very simple, how hard you work, how much your luck favors you. But if you are not destined with it you can never achieve it.
As Shakespeare said “Life is not a bed of roses, nor a bed of thorns, Life is but life and we have to live it”. It is very much true. We should know how to live our life in all circumstances. We should try to gain knowledge and experience from all the phases of life. Each day, life teaches us a new lesson and it depends upon us how we take it. Nobody knows what is could be the next turn of our life. The lesson we learn from the practical set up of life leads us to be a winner in the end.
The book Slumdog Millionaire is a story of such a boy. He fought against the most deadly disease of the world 'Poverty'. A simple tiffin boy born in the slums has seen the worst things of life, right from prostitution to murder, from destitution to hunger. He led a life of a vagabond wandering from place to place along with his elder brother. The only thing which made him survive was his honesty and hard work. He never thought of luck or fate until one day a call from a television reality show changed his fate. However everything is not so easy to get. The young tiffin boy was put jailed with charges of cheating. On interrogation in the cell it was found that he answered all the questions on sheer experience he had learnt from his hard times.
Therefore as said earlier, Hard work, experience, luck all fall short before fate. As 'no one gets more and no one gets less'. A perfect fiction book written by Vikas Swarup to believe in all the four essential aspects of life. However for me 'Fate' is the priority.
