During my trip to Hong Kong, I had breakfast with a high school friend who holds a senior position in the field of social work. We talked about the “old” days and how things are today. She made a thought-provoking comment – “Our destiny is determined, to a certain extent, by our personality.”
My friend elaborated that there are opportunities in life for everyone and the way we act upon them creates a chain of reactions which ultimately leads to our destiny. In addition, our attitude towards seeking opportunities as well as crisis management reflect our personalities. There are other factors that affect our destiny. However, if we (never too late) want to change the course of our destiny, our personality may be an area of interest and significant impact.
