1 " To realize one's destiny is a person's only real obligation and when you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it. "
― Paulo Coelho , The Alchemist
2 " The whole secret of a successful life is to find out what is one's destiny to do, and then do it. "

3 " Honest struggle after knowing one's destiny is a real fighter spirit. There is no guarantee that good thing will happen with good people, because everything is predestined. Even lord Krishna couldn't save Abhimanyu's untimely death. He even did not teach how to come out from Chakravyuh to Abhimanyu. "
4 " People may indeed be treated as objects and may be profoundly affected thereby. Kick a dog often enough and he will become cowardly or vicious. People who are kicked undergo similar changes; their view of the world and of themselves is transformed. . . People may indeed be brainwashed, for benign or exploitative reasons. . .If one's destiny is shaped by manipulation one has become more of an object, less of a subject, has lost freedom. . . If, however, one's destiny is shaped from within then one has become more of a creator, has gained freedom. This is self-transcendence, a process of change that originates in one's heart and expands outward. . . begins with a vision of freedom, with an " I want to become..." , with a sense of the potentiality to become what one is not. One gropes toward this vision in the dark, with no guide, no map, and no guarantee. Here one acts as subject, author, creator. "
