A great prophecy of fate

A Frenchman named Roddy lost a month's hard-earned money at the gambling table. He wandered in the street in despair, and his sick old mother was waiting for him at home. At this time, he even had the idea of robbing people's wallets.

A fortune teller muttered something to himself on the street corner. When he passed by, the fortune teller stopped him. "I have no money anyway." Roddy thought like this and walked to the fortune teller. He wants to plan his future. As a result, the fortune teller told him, "Do you know that you are the reincarnation of Napoleon? You will be very painful in the future, but you will not be afraid of pain, because there is success waiting for you." Napoleon is the idol of the French public, and Roddy thinks that if he is really Napoleon alive, he should make great achievements. So he bought a lot of books about Napoleon and became fascinated by Napoleon's biography. Then, he borrowed some money and started a business. Difficulties came unexpectedly when starting a business, but Roddy was not brought back, because the fortune teller said that there would be many hardships in the future, and as long as he was not afraid of hardships, there would be success waiting for him. So Roddy is optimistic and tries to do everything well. He is indomitable in the face of setbacks. A few years later, Roddy became a famous entrepreneur in France, and his assets ranked among the top French monopoly.

When someone interviewed him, he told the reporter the fortune-telling story. After he finished his story, he said flatly, I believe the fortune teller can't remember what he once said to a young man, because the fortune teller just saw my depression and wanted to help me. But his words inadvertently outlined a more perfect image of himself. For so many years, I have been imitating another perfect self imagined by fortune tellers, and finally I succeeded.
