The Big Q #1 Response

A person's life path is always determined before the person is born. The individual's life path is pre-determined depending on his family's status, whether if they are poor or rich, powerful or weak. Imagine a person born as a peasant would begin his life as a peasant, just like a person born as a noble, however they can still change their course of life.

I also believe that a man can still change his stars if he puts enough effort to change it. T
here has been examples of people from the low-birth of a poor family and with enough effort the people can still change his outcome in the future. Changing the direction of lives before the modern era was extremely hard, it involves recklessness, extreme effort and some luck to be successful.

In ancient times, people who were born into wealth of nobles would always be ahead of the common people, however the difference between a common child and the son of a noble is just the amount of effort placed into achieving the individual's goal.

Example...
John D Rockefeller - Born into an average family of six children, his constant studious effort and risking everything to win, bear fruit. At the end of his life, he had created the Standard Oil Company, the biggest oil monopoly in the world. John is a example of how normal individuals with reckless gambles, studious works and a bit of luck can change the outcome from such low-birth into the man of the century.

Today it is much more easier to change your stars because to change it now only involves extreme studious effort and luck.

Example...
Jim Pattison - He was born as an average child of an average family in the modern era. Jim started his job as a regular cars salesman, however his hard efforts in car dealerships allowed him to rise high into the company. At the end he left the company and started investing into his own. Today he owns the $5.8 billion conglomerate, the Jim Pattison Group. He is a modern example of how the average can turn their outcome as a "average Joe", his hard work as a salesman allowed him to leave his job and invest as a wealthy investor.

People, born into a pre-determined life-path as a wealthy individual can also change their stars, most placed enough effort to either gained or lose all their wealth...

In summary, I believe that people born into their pre-determined lifestyle can still change their fate with just plain hard effort and a bit of luck. The difference between a person of high-birth and low-birth is the amount of effort required to reach their goal, and the amount to reach is just fate.
