Can Knowledge Change One’s Destiny？

Some people have always believed that knowledge can change their destiny. Most of them are those from undeveloped areas， and by knowledge they usually mean diploma. They believe that if they send the kids in the family to college and that the kids get a diploma， they can change the kids’ destiny from doing farm work to enjoy a modern and advanced life in the city.

However， some hold a different view. They say that in today’s society， knowledge alone is not enough to change destiny. To succeed in this complicated age， one needs not only knowledge， but also good communicating skills and a wide horizon， which cannot be easily learned in class. Knowledge itself is also more complicated than before. With technologies constantly advancing， one needs good learning ability to keep up with the time.

In my opinion， knowledge is essential， but it is not everything. To change the destiny， one needs to keep learning various skills， to widen his horizons， and to keep pace with the latest trend.

Can Knowledge Change One’s Destiny？

For thousands of years， human beings have been using their knowledge to improve their life and change the world around them. Farmers use knowledge to grow more crops， workers use knowledge to make better devices， and scientists use knowledge on various inventions. In one word， some people believe knowledge has changed and is still changing our destiny.

Meanwhile， there are some people who have a different voice. They say the world today is too complicated. You may have a lot of knowledge， but that doesn’t mean you will succeed. There will always be someone who knows more than you， or even takes advantage of your knowledge. Your knowledge can’t ensure you a bright future， so why bother learning them at the first place？ You can use the time to learn something else.

In my opinion， though knowledge doesn’t definitely mean success， it is much more reliable than opportunism. Knowledge is essential in any case， and others can’t take the knowledge in your own mind away.
