Conquering Destiny - A Segment in Destiny Determination
Explanation:
ª¹Ð¡ÃÃÁ is not difficult to translate, as conquering destinies are often heard in English speaking circles. ¡ÃÃÁ¾Âҡóì however is a bit more complex here: Should it be Predicting the Karma? (In that case, what is Karma? Would an English speaking person understand Karma the same way as a Thai person would?) Should it be Predicting the Fate? Should it be Shaping the Future? Shaping the Destiny? Or should it be Predicting the Destiny? Would the concept of "predicting" sit in with "destiny" in English speaking people? Predicting is like forecasting, at best, you are making an educated guess, as when people use statistics or probablities. Better still, if you want to be in control of your destiny, you take over. You prepare for it. You determine it yourself. You set goals. You work hard. You monitor results. You enjoy your journey of achievement. Then I look at all the management training courses offered by community colleges. There, they use "Determine Your Own Destiny". This is why I choose to use "determine" here rather than "predicting".
