““A drop of rain knows not where it lands after it is born from the cloud. It will then either remain in place till it evaporates, or it will try to make its way to the sea. Humans are the same. When they are born, they know not where they will land. However, they can either remain in place and die while accomplishing nothing, or they can find their true destiny.””
