个人的命运就像握在手中的小鸟一样，完全是由自己控制的。在这个社会中总有一些人是比大多数人成功的，而他们成功的原因，很多人却它归结为幸运-好的背景、正好碰上了很好的机会等等。其实，运气并不是成功的因素。Aristotle有一个理论"there is a reason for everything that happens, whether we know the law or principle behind it or not."后来又引申为"for every event, there is a probability of that event occurring under certain circumstances."
对于每一个人来说，成功都是有可能的，所要做的事情就是设定一个目标，然后通过各种努力无限制的增大这个可能性。也许我们并不知道哪些努力可以增大成功的可能性，但是同时还有另外一个理论"There is a direct relationship between the number of different things you attempt and your likelihood of eventual success.although you cannot predict which one of a series of events will be successful, by the Law of Averages you know that by doing a certain thing a certain number of times, you will achieve your goal."也就是说所做的努力越多，成功的可能性就越大，直到无限接近成功。成功完全掌握在我们自己的手中。
