What exactly determines a person’s fate?

First, the times

A person's destiny is closely related to the times. The era when heroes made history and had personal impacts has passed. Today, our personal destiny is inseparable from the trends and developments of the entire era. Today, we can rely on our own efforts to change our destiny. However, going back to the Anti-Japanese War or the Cultural Revolution, our destiny cannot be controlled by our own hands.

The entire era was a huge disaster for the nation, and our lives became insignificant in those years. It is precisely because of those times that so many pioneers who saved the country and the people appeared, and their names will remain in history. If it were a peaceful era, they might not be remembered by history, or they might be remembered for generations in other ways.

Second, environment

Aside from the times, the environment has the greatest impact on an individual’s destiny. Our future is also very closely related to changes in the entire environment. For example, in this Internet age, as long as you have talent, you will definitely be able to find a stage that allows you to shine. As long as you are willing to look for opportunities, you will have your moment to rise as an individual. The entire environment is very diverse and inclusive. We can do whatever we want and the whole society will recognize it.

Third, personal efforts

I still remember Yu Minhong’s statement of his own life story. We can see that most of his achievements today are due to his personal shortcomings. No matter what desperate situation he is in, he has an indomitable spirit and tries his best in a painful world. Our personal efforts play a very critical role in our destiny. We must not succumb to the so-called destined fate easily.
