Meddling with destiny...@ Waleed:<BR/>I'll have to agree. Meddling with destiny hasn't yielded very pleasant results for me in various experiences. In the end, I have learnt a lot, am always back at square one, and I feel like this is what I knew all the time so what was I doing anyway! <BR/><BR/>It is strange. BTW my interest in destiny grew with a story called <I>The Garden of Forking Paths.</I>The Prophecyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01279634486959705137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8978651.post-1126429712168434072005-09-11T14:08:00.000+05:002005-09-11T14:08:00.000+05:00Nice one about the stimuli and response.

Well i am not exactly sure about destiny and wont say much about her.She might be standing at my head reading my post and since I am maverick myself, I dont dont afford such adversities.<BR/><BR/>But sometime i really feel that I overempahsize over the things i cannot do, rather than the things I can do. I would love to be on the cover of Playboy, but perhaps I am designed for some other things. I am not sure whether other people think the way i do or not.<BR/><BR/>Infact a man of wisdom actually advised me that destiny and fortune are realities that are best not discussed. This come is Hadith perhaps (please do tell me about it, if you know). Though again our business-school skepticism might force not to put eveything under lens of scrutinty, shall some things be left uncomprehended rather than mis-comprehedned.<BR/><BR/>What you have to say? :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8978651.post-1125323220239421292005-08-29T18:47:00.000+05:002005-08-29T18:47:00.000+05:00I consider destiny to evolve from the choices we m...I consider destiny to evolve from the choices we make. The pattern reflected from our choices is an image of our destiny. <BR/><BR/>However, we are not born with any one particular destiny, we may hold the key (choices) to our million destinies however at each stop we sometimes conciously and other times spontaneously alter our destinies. <BR/><BR/>This brings us to question and define personal successes. What we consider success for another is like you said a challenge for the other.. The richest man in the universe finds it challenging to be unchallenged and thats probably the drive to achieve greater success. <BR/><BR/>It is like being trapped between two mirrors the sharper the angle the further you can see into either side but you are often left wondering what did I miss while I stepped deeper into left or the right mirror..<BR/><BR/>Interesting blog!Mr. bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07280844204590866476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8978651.post-1122823030073934802005-07-31T20:17:00.000+05:002005-07-31T20:17:00.000+05:00Thanks.

Personally I feel that destiny is often generous to many of us. It is <I>choice</I> where we have the issue.<BR/><BR/>A good choice takes advantage of an "average" destiny; and a bad choice can mar the best of bounties. <BR/><BR/>(I couldn't help the play on the words "mars" and "bounty"....)The Prophecyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01279634486959705137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8978651.post-1122754550936083502005-07-31T01:15:00.000+05:002005-07-31T01:15:00.000+05:00hmm...strange coincidence finding this particular ...hmm...strange coincidence finding this particular post, because I'd just finished reading (learning) S.Covey's 7 habits...and Victor Frankl's truism was showcased there as well...well-written post & food for thought..Marshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10909948275659950210noreply@blogger.com
