"Fate is what you're given, destiny is what you make of it." When fate is given to you, it's how you take it that matters. When you are given wealth, do you use it wisely? When you are faced with a bad situation, do you continue to run away or take it on? Will you use your choices in vain, or for the good of everyone? Just know that your choices are yours, that if all goes wrong, the blame isn't placed on someone else. Know that you were the one who made the mistake. However, choose wisely and you may be adored. But fair warning, choices can change people, harden them, even kill ones they love. In the book The Pearl, a man named Kino is given great wealth. Its up to him to choose what to do with this wealth. His choices throughout the book change his life thoroughly, but are they affecting him negatively or positively?
