You have a choice to do or
not do something in the future, but what is
done, will always be done, can't
be changed anymore. This is what people refered to as fate.
They say, fate will only take you this far, but it's up to you to
decide, what you want to do next. I don't believe, fate is the
right word there. I believe rather that "chances" will only take
you this far, it is up to you to decide, whether you take that
chance or not.
So before you do something, always think twice before doing
it.
