Bacon essay "Every man is a designer of his destiny"
Undoubtedly, external accidental factors affect people's fate, such as appearance, timing, the death of others, and the opportunity to display their talents, but people's fate is ultimately in their own hands. So, there is a poet who said, "Every man is the architect of his destiny."
If the above external causes always arise, this is a stupid thing that one person does, because it only causes the luck of another person. As we all know, the quickest success is the success of taking advantage of the mistakes of others, "the snake must devour other snakes to grow into a dragon".
Some of the virtues are indeed obvious and worthy of the praise of everyone who knows it; but a person's hidden strengths or the effective way a person expresses himself are often the key to a person's victory. These methods cannot be accurately described, let alone disseminated to each other, and perhaps the Spanish word disemboltura (ease of abandonment) can be roughly explored: as long as a person does not have a narrow concept and has a correct attitude towards others, the direction of progress in his mind can be consistent with the direction of the wheel of destiny, and start at the same time.
It is for this reason that Levi said of Cato: "This man is physically strong and mentally mature, so no matter which family he was born into, he will have better fortunes." However, he eventually discovered that the man was "spiritual."
Therefore, as long as a person looks closely with his eyes wide open, he can see the traces of the goddess of destiny; although one of the eyes of the goddess of destiny is blindfolded, she still has her own whereabouts.
The trajectory of fate is like the Milky Way in the sky, where countless stars come together to form the Milky Way, but it seems that the Milky Way is not a scattered star, but a complete band of light; in the same way, the reason why a person has better luck is also due to his small merits or strengths, or some good habits and abilities.
People can't imagine the mystery, but Italians can see the opportunity. When Italians talk about a lucky man who rarely makes mistakes, they usually say, "This man is a bit deaf and dumb." And the habits that everyone is familiar with, often making people lucky, are nothing more than two: one is a little less sincere and simple, and the other is a little bit deaf and dumb.
It can be seen from this that those who are the most loyal and patriotic are rarely lucky, and will never be lucky, because if a person does not even consider himself, he will certainly not only take care of his own interests. It is easy to get lucky, only to create a group of reckless men and adventurers; but after a lot of hard work, the luck can achieve outstanding talents.
Luck, in itself, deserves to be respected and admired, even if only out of respect for her two daughters— "self-confidence" and "reputation." Confidence remains in the hearts of the lucky, while reputation remains in the hearts of those who know the lucky. Wise people, in order to prevent others from being jealous of their own merits, are always accustomed to attributing their strengths to God and the God of Destiny, so that they can maximize their strengths.
In addition, the blessings of the gods also make their extraordinary features visible. So Caesar once said to the helmsman in a storm, "Your ship carries not only me, but also my luck." So, Sula would rather call herself "Lucky Sula" than "Great Sula." And generations have observed that anyone who attributes his achievements excessively to his own ingenuity ends unhappily.
According to historical records, the Athenian general Timusius always liked to say every time he reported to the government: "This victory is by no means based on luck alone." "As a result, he did not build greater feats later.
Needless to say, some people's luck is like Homer's poetry, and Homer's poetry is smoother than others'; Plutarch uses this metaphor when comparing the luck of Abisilao and Ibaminon to the luck of Timoleon; it is normal that the luck of men is different, but the luck of each person also depends on each person, and it is clear.
