Model Answer:
There is a saying that survival is only for the fittest. If you cannot be fit, it will be impossible for you to survive in the world. Fate is the thing that cannot be predicted but if someone takes precautionary measures, surely the fate changes. It was earlier thought that fate is the divine gift and cannot be changed but if we look at the history, we will have numerous examples of fate-changing through a hard work, sincerity and perseverance.
In fact, the world has turned so fast that without any hard labor one cannot think of changing the situations. It is true that good things come to people who wait patiently for the thing but if they had the slightest idea that the best thing is waiting outside of their door, they would have run for that.
To be successful in life, it is unwise to wait for divine blessings or any divine interventions to uphold the situations. They actually lead a lazy life and accept what they get without investing any labor. Finally, they are on the view that they have got what was in their fate and accept the gifts. But if they had tried to do something better, they could have done so. They did not as they are unwilling and happy with what they have. They lack ambition and accordingly their fates are not changed. They remain the same during their entire life.
Further, there are some people who have a strong will to shine in life and consequently they have grown much and have surpassed all the others of contemporary. There are a large number of examples available in our surrounding. For instance, we can recall the names of the few people who started their lives with super-poor state and now are the owners of billions of US dollars. Sheldon Adelson is one of them and is the owners of 21.5 billion US dollars who started his life with nothing. After investing his hard labor and sincerity he is now a billionaire and made himself as an influential figure in the country.
Oprah Winfrey is another vivid example of hard labor. She experienced different troubles in the beginning of her life. She overcame sexual abuse in her life, poverty and many other struggles, but now she is one of the rulers of media and owns over 2 billion US dollars and millions of US citizens now wait for her television appearance.
All these are done by great struggle and courage to move ahead. So, if you want to ensure a perfect and bright future, you are to try hard. If you wait that good things will arrive at your doorstep, you are right. That may arrive when it is time. But you will be deprived of having the best things in your life as the best things needed to be grabbed, they do not appear before the doors.
