Character determines destiny. This sentence is so simple to say. It may seem like an old-fashioned chicken soup, but it is a wise saying that has been summed up after many generations of blood and tears. Although we often heard this sentence when we were children, we can only truly understand it after we grow up, have suffered losses, and have a deeper understanding of ourselves.

When I was a kid, I was not convinced when people said this to me. I am young and frivolous, and I have never had any trouble. The biggest trouble I have is not getting the first place in the exam. I grew up stubborn and stubborn, but when I got to work, I realized that I was running into obstacles everywhere and missed many opportunities. Only later did I learn to calm down, and luckily it was not too late.

I have a good friend who is a classmate. When she was in school, she was humorous, generous, and always considerate of others. She occasionally suffered a small loss without saying anything. Everyone liked her very much. Later, when she graduated, a classmate in her dormitory introduced her to a good company through family connections, where she met her husband, and she enjoyed both love and career success.

Compared with the smooth sailing since she entered the society, what are the small losses she suffered before? She must have never thought that her kind-hearted character would change her life's destiny. Sometimes, actions dictated by personality may rewrite one's destiny at a later point.

Xiang Yu and Liu Bang in the Chu-Han War are typical examples of characters determining fate. Xiang Yu was of noble birth, young and vigorous, but lost his favorable situation and ended up committing suicide; Liu Bang was of humble origin, brave and resourceful but without courtesy, justice and shame, and finally destroyed Xiang Yu after taking refuge with Xiang Yu. It cannot but be said that there are huge personality factors involved.

Character can also make up for shortcomings in other aspects to a large extent. In life, there are many people who are depressed because of their unlovable or defective personalities. If you have a bad personality, nothing special about ordinary people, and no mine at home, then you will have to take many more detours than someone with a good personality, and to a large extent, you will not win a brilliant life in a smooth sailing.
