Advice from seven Nobel laureates on fixing the economy

命運是你家

This story came after the announcement of the chemistry Nobel prize winners this year. It reminds me of a Chinese proverb:

一命 二運 三風水, 四積陰德 五讀書

(1st: fate, 2nd luck, 3rd Fung Shui, 4th good deeds, 5th education)

May be the guy didn't try hard enough back then, or he wasn't desparate enough, or it's what we called destiny. It seems to me that, there is always someone fighting uphill battles all the time, no matter how much effort he puts in; while there is always someone flying with tail wind all the time when he didn't even ask for it.

The world is unfair, which gives me and my wife a topic for a continuous discussion.
