Master of Your Own Fate: Entrepreneurs vs. Predestined Lives

This post recounts author Steve Blank's experience with an old friend, Glen, exploring the question of whether life's path is predetermined or self-directed. Blank reflects on their friendship during the Vietnam War and the vastly different trajectories their lives took. He argues that most people live unexamined lives, while entrepreneurs actively shape their circumstances, strive for excellence, and push humanity forward. The piece encourages readers to take control of their destinies and become masters of their own fate.
