What determines our destiny? Chance or Choice! Or Something Else?

Right from within our mother’s womb, we all experience the pull towards mother Earth, we take it for granted!
Retiring from a day long exercise, a young scholar, resting in the shadow of a tree, didn’t eat the falling apple but picked it up and asked himself “Why doesn’t falling objects move up rather than falling down”?
How the extra intelligent young scholar couldn’t eat the apple?
Did he know the apple wasn’t a sweet one? Was he not hungry? Or was it the intuitive mind inside the 2.5 kg skull which holds our brain?
The question still is what held Sir Isaac Newton from not eating the apple but to discover GRAVITATION?
What ever it was, but the controlled hunger, inquisitive mind, and resting scholar lead to the space travel.

Age old tradition of heating the milk before consuming it, or storing it, was never taught to our non-literate granny’s in their days, now its taught to grade five students!
When a press reporter asked a struggling scientist, “How is it that when everything which was invented, had been invented and everything which was discovered, had been discovered, that you discovered PASTEURIZATION”?
Louis Pasture replied “Its SERENDIPITY”, meaning “Chance Favors Prepared Minds”.

Long time back when sea was a route of transport for many, people did design ships and boats!
But a Greek named Archimedes, ran bare body in the streets of his country, chanting “Eureka, Eureka …”, after he discovered BOUYANCY.

Who could even think of light or electricity after the sunset?
When asked by his close friend, even for failing 2000 times, why don’t you stop fighting with nature in creating an alternative to Sun, the school drop out, Thomas Alva Edison explained to his friend, stating “Today, I have learned the 2000th way how an Electric Bulb could not be successfully made. I should find the way, using which the bulb would be successful”.

Those were days when brains were executed for explaining that it’s not Sun which revolves around Earth, but just the opposite!

“We choose those options in our life which reflects our association, and later our association determines our Destiny”!

Once, after a long time, a zoologist went to meet his farmer friend. To his astonishment, the zoologist, discovered, a very rare variety of eagle feeding grains along with the farmers fowls.
After asking the farmer replied, “I Got the odd fowl from the mountain side”.
The zoologist explained that this odd fowl of his farmer friend is actually a very rare variety of eagle, which feeds on pet fowl.
The farmer laughed, and the both agreed to visit the mountain side the next morning, just at sun-rise, with the odd fowl.
The next morning, just by the mountain side, the zoologist friend spotted the eagles, and with an uplift jerk, threw the odd fowl, and the eagles sitting in the quiet, suddenly started showing some restlessness. And after a few hours of drama, the odd fowl started diving down and preying, along with the other eagles.

What matters is “Whom Do You Associate With”!
