    • chance the way that some things happen without any cause that you can see or understand:

    fate or destiny?用 fate 还是 destiny？Fate can be kind, but this is an unexpected gift; just as often, fate is cruel and makes people feel helpless. Destiny is more likely to give people a sense of power: people who have a strong sense of destiny usually believe that they are meant to be great or do great things.Patterns
