Jim carrey, a famous hollywood actor, said “Is it better to risk starving to death than surrender. If you give up on your dreams, what’s left?” The big hollywood dream is not for everyone. However, take it from Jim carrey, a funny man even, understands dreams because he sought after his. What is left of anyone, if they never even attempt to chase their dream? Often times people don’t chase their dreams because they fear risk, leaving people behind, changing, and the idea that the dream might or might not be their fate. Everyone has a dream, their dreams have changed, their dreams have even come true, or fear and risk have pushed them away from their dreams. Some believe fate is linked to their dreams, and they have a purpose in the world. Some …show more content…
Fate, what happens beyond one’s control. Although, not everyone believes in fate. “I think you have no control over fate. I think things just happen for a reason.” (Simmons). Connor lives an example of fate, on January 6th of 2017 he accepted a position as a graduate assistant to Wayne State College to coach the quarterbacks in Nebraska, which happen to be fourteen hours from his girlfriend, Catherine. “I was out in Pittsburgh, visiting her when I got the news. When I told her she was extremely excited but I could see the look in her eyes, that she was concerned because we probably wouldn’t be together anymore...I prayed that night to something opening up closer to her and the next morning I received a text from Coach Correll (passing game coordinator at Shepherd University in West Virginia) three and a half hours from Catherine. He offered me a graduate assistant coaching position and I immediately jumped on it to stay close to her because essentially she became my dream once football ended.” (Simmons) However, people do believe that one’s fate can be changed and controlled by themselves. “I control my fate and yes the choices I make determine rather my dreams are followed or not.” (Phillips) If the dream has never been accomplished, one can always choose to not follow their dream; therefore, they are changing their fate. Now some equate fate to God’s purpose. …show more content…
One person is made up of multiple dreams. Dreams form from desires and the decision made throughout life.. Not only do dreams reveal what lies within a person, dreams shape the life around a life. Dreams may become one’s fate or purpose in this world. Sometimes, dreams build upon dreams, leading to your destiny like stepping stones. However, in this world people create their dreams and the path they take on the journey, fate or not fate. One will never know if the dream was meant to be if they never chase it. Dreams, they are frightening. It’s never guaranteed, its a gamble. People need to stop giving fear power, and let fear power them. When fear is used to motivate, that’s when dreams come true. Take the risk, take control, take the dream and make it fate. Maybe, the dream has to be sacrificed, sacrifice the dream only if necessary or if the sacrifice leads to another dream. Leaving the past behind, leaving people behind, doesn’t mean loosing one’s true self, identities lies within dreams, (Could not find the challenge. I could be stupid, or you just don’t have it yet because I don’t
Dreams are there to make the illusion of the impossible, you must always strive to do the impossible. Two people have shown that it is possible to achieve the impossible, and those two people are Althea Gibson and Barbara Jordan, and those two people had done their absolute best to make sure that they make it, and to make sure they make they succeed in life. In the article Althea Gibson and Barbara C. Jordan, both written by Frank Lafe They were both faced with obstacles that didn't want them to succeed, they had dreams that had seemed impossible for them to be able to achieve at that time. Both of them had different environments that affected their future, the environments around people affect the person too. All of those describe the lives
Dreams are a part of each person’s life that allows them to set goals for their future. One dream may be simple, but others allow them to achieve the impossible. There is that one goal that anyone and everyone wants to
Fate is defined as “the determining cause by which things in general are believed to…happen as they do,” “It is “an inevitable…outcome.” (Merriam-Webster) However, fate isn’t the determining cause, it is dependent on karmas. Karmas are derivatives of the invisible Karman particles that are all around the world. (umich.edu) Through ones’ thoughts and actions karmas bond to the soul. (umich.edu) Over time the karmas accumulate and begin to cloud the once pure and truly knowledge soul. Ancient Greek tragedian Sophocles uses the idea of fate as the basis for his tragedy “Oedipus the King.” The character Oedipus ultimately turns out to be an exemplification the notions of Karma and fate.
By definition, fate refers to “the development of events beyond a person's control, regarded as determined by a supernatural power.” Therefore, believing in fate implies believing in a master plan of some sort, or as stated before, a supernatural power. Fate consists of nothing but a man-made idea created in hopes of helping people to cope with extreme loss, low periods in life, or lazy attitudes. I find it sickening how people dare to say that the greatest men and women in history pioneered in the ways they did because of destiny or fate.
The American Dream is often thought of as the key to happiness, usually defined as the thing that one wants to achieve in their lifetime. However, it does not always end the way one may wish. When one attempts to achieve it, he risks the possibility of failure. In many fictional novels, this theme is displayed. In novels and in real life, there are continuous interruptions with one’s dreams. Although the American Dream, however one may define it, promises hope for people and characters from all backgrounds, it is impossible to achieve.
Fate is that one thing you are destined to do that has been designed just for you. Someone of a higher power designed a specific line of events to happen to you. It is all beyond your control, you did not pick your life, someone else gave you that life. Since the beginning, you were named, and everyone around you starts planning what you will become when you get older. You never really pick something for yourself because things “magically” fall into place; an opportunity presents itself and you take it. Everyone’s life is written entirely as sort of a book, you have the chance to pick the way you think but fate is what ultimately happened to Macbeth.
Throughout the book the author implies that through persevering through adversity, following omens, and overcoming one's fears, everyone has a chance to achieve their dreams.
The French Revolution was a time when many people sacrificed their lives for their beliefs. As the French Revolution moved on, more people joined the movement and risked their lives. A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens is set during this time. Many people who sacrificed their lives for the Revolution felt like it was their fate to do this. This idea of fate is described many times in Dickens’ novel to magnify the story. The theme of fate is prevalent in the novel through the lives of many characters. This theme is used to show how a person is unable to escape their fate because it is already decided. The metaphors and symbols in the novel are greatly used to contribute to the theme of fate through the symbols of knitting, the fountain and water, and the wine.
Fate is non-existent as one's future is based upon their own personal decisions. It is believing
Fate can be defined in many different ways. Webster's Dictionary defines fate as a power that supposedly predetermines events. Fate is synonymous with the word destiny, which suggests that events are unavoidable and unchangeable. Whatever happens in life is meant to be and cannot be changed by mankind. In Shakespeare's Macbeth, fate plays an important role in the lives of Macbeth, Lady Macbeth and Banquo.
Fate may state what will be in one's life however, how that destiny comes about is a matter of man's own choice. In other words, incidents don't occur because our destinies are written. In the play Macbeth, Shakespeare expertly uses the theme of fate vs. free will and raises the pre-eminent question of which holds power over the characters. In Shakespeare’s tragedy, fate is not the cause of his downfall, his own desires and choices prove to be the deciding factor.
An Anonymous person once said, “The American Dream is dead”. Disagreeing with the bleak and disillusioned saying I used The Great Gatsby and the literary terms setting and plot. With a setting that shouts, “Come for your Dreams”, and a plot that proves dreams are worth the dreaming if for the contentment of the fantasy, the dreams aren’t futile but a certain buoyancy in the life of a person, a reason to live. Dreams are companions in life, whether actual goals or small entertained thoughts of the possibilities of the future, no matter how much we may live in the present called today.
Dreams are aspirations that people hope to achieve in their lifetime. They are a motive that drives lives to accomplish goals. When trying to achieve these goals, people can do anything. However, what happens when a dream is deferred? A dream cast aside can frustrate a person in the deepest way.
Webster defines fate as a “ a power thought to control all events and impossible to resist” “a persons destiny.” This would imply that fate has an over whelming power over the mind. This thing called fate is able to control a person and that person has no ability to change it.
In J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter book series, fate plays a large part in the life of Harry Potter. As soon as Voldemort chose Harry to be the “Chosen One”, his fate as the defender of wizardkind was sealed. Harry must be the one to defeat Voldemort, or vice versa. However, although Harry’s fate was seemingly sealed from the time he was one year old, he still had free will throughout the series.
