10．How many of us blame"destiny"when we're going through tough periods of life？We always hear people say，it's bad luck．But is this"luck"thing really so serious and irreversible？Though few events of our life like birth or death are controlled by destiny，when it comes to hard times，opportunities，or challenges we can make them different by our deeds．
Even when passing through the roughest period of our life，we can turn it in our favor by hard work．No good deed goes without being paid off and it does have the power of changing the fortunes．For example，if one has worked for 20 hours in a week，the employer will pay for 20 hours．Similarly if we are walking on the path of positivity，performing our deeds，we'll be paid off．Even when nothing seems working，it's better to keep trying to make something good happen rather than sitting or complaining．
When trapped from all sides in a dark cave，one is not supposed to break the rock straight away．Instead，he should pull out a small hole among rocks to let the sunshine and air come in to avoid suffocation （室息）．Then efforts are aimed at breaking free．
Human life is precious and powerful．This power is"will power"．However this"will power"has to be connected with hard work，commitment and positivism．And if you are doing so，no matter how tough the problem is o r how tough the time is，it will have to change as the result of your deeds and you will rewrite your destiny．
The secret lies in being energetic and not giving up．The secret lies in always making efforts to fill the gap between"what is happening"and"what you want to make happen"．The secret lie s not in being the victim or passers-by of circumstances but in being the winner of circumstances．
