An old man takes a deep thought in retrospect to relieve how fate and destiny tied into one have played a significant role in his emergence and failures. He then simply explains that efforts, opportunities and most importantly fate are great determinants of how a man reaches his destination. All these he later tells his grandson as they unwind together at the veranda of his beautiful edifice with an ocean view. Despite the wide age gap between them, there seemed to be a mutual understanding and a spark in the eyes of this little creature who is being exposed to the wisdom of a sage. As a young chap he got what will take his mates years of experience to acquire. Thanks to the relationship with this consulted oracle who is his grandfather.
