LIFE AND DESTINYWe all were put here by our parents, not our own intentions. Some people who are satisfied with their current status think we should be grateful for our being here, but others, who are never happy with their lives, see this world as a sea of troubles with no end in sight. People think, since we were born, we should do our best. Many assume that all of us do our best to become somebody, but only a few succeed. Why? Do you think a person’s destiny is predetermined by God? Or is it just a matter of personal struggle? Nobody knows. One thing is certain: it is useless to complain about destiny. Instead we should make the effort to be a useful person in society.Useful expression:His destiny
