What is destiny? To many people it is how they live their lives. They believe that everyone's life has its own destiny or course. According to Webster's Dictionary destiny is a predetermined course of events often held to be an irresistible power or agency. (Webster's Dictionary) In other words our destiny is out fate. It could either be a good thing or a bad thing and to most people it has already been decided by a Supreme Being or God. But that is just the pessimistic view on destiny. Others believe that one can decide his or her own destiny. A person just has to know how to control it and become a master of it. I personally believe that one can control his or her own destiny. That is if you strive to do that yourself. If you just live your life expecting that everything will fall in your lap you are wrong.
Nothing in life is pre-destined as in the people you meet, the jobs you get or the person you marry.

Another point in a person's life that people may say that he or she is destined for is their career. The course of your career and who you are in life is all on the person not a predetermined situate. Whether the person applies himself and goes to school and then to college and eventually gets a career on his own is his prerogative. Bill Gates was not destined to be the richest man in the world I believe. I think that he had a dream and the worked hard when he was young to become what he is today. Bill Gates also I think does not believe in destiny because in his children's case he did not just inhe
