A Daring Adventure

Helen Keller, the first deaf and blind person to earn a Bachelor of Arts degree, once said, “Life is either a daring adventure or nothing. To keep our faces toward change and behave like free spirits in the presence of fate is strength undefeatable.” Write what this quotation means to you. What is fate? Who or what controls fate? What particular event gives a meaning in our lives? What gives meaning to our lives as a whole?

•  I agree with this quote. If people are not brave enough to step out their first step to do something, then what meaning is there to life? So I believe that people have to adventure at least once or twice during their life. This strength within people motivates people to do things that they might even think that they can never do, and this is what makes life worth living for. 
• I believe that fate is how the world works - who we meet, when we meet, and under what type of circumstances we meet under, and what happens to the relationship between two people who met for the first time. All of this may be fate. I believe that it is ourselves who controls fate. For example, if we go out and meet a friend at the market, it is us who decides when we leave to go to the supermarket and how long we take for going to the market. Events that may be significant in our lives include adulthood, marriage, giving birth, etc. Many events are meaningful to our lives, and all of them teach us an important lesson about life, and these lessons allow us to learn from our mistakes and continue to live on better.
