He loved when he was a high school student but not got the girl; he wished to be the best football player of the city but he couldn't; he wanted to be a high scorer at the high school leaving  examination but he failed to do that; destiny had escaped out from him due to its fear because he was a lazy boy.

I knew that man when he was a boy and my high school friend before ten years. He loved to attain in class but he couldn't understood what teachers were said in class room; he tried to score the higher point even by Cheating at the exam days but mostly he was unfortunate to copy from other students. Eventually, he failed to be a university student to learn regularly with his other friends. What I did observe from his face at the time of result announcement was a despair look never to be a student again in his life.


In the coming years, most of his teenage friends had been in universities to be graduated with their hope of degree; and I recalled some of them when they had been in trouble to fulfill their expenses unto they finish their education. Once up on a time one old friend of mine and me were around the coffee table to play about our past years which were the beautiful boyhood eons of aeon. In the middle of our talk my friend remembered that friend who were failed to enter in to university looking pity for his fate. And I recalled him well. "Where is he now?" he asked me after he did sip the coffee twice. "I don't know but I prospected his life might be worst in his adulthood. " I said.

"Why?" my friend asked me.


"I knew his families. All are poor enough not to cover their daily expense. Our friend could not stay with them after his high school education completion. He might be somewhere far to find his victuals by doing at least a daily job. That made me sad." I said to him.

"Yea, you are probably right to conclude for his destiny. What do you expect him to be now? "He asked me again.

I pondered for a second while and started to tell my guess for him," he might been in adversity, somewhere, living on the verges of Addis Ababa city, or travelled far to regions, country side, to north, to west, I don't know but his chance of being well and comforted with living in this city is rarely good; as a beggar." I said to him. 


"Do you knew how he behaved ere in his high school life as well as around his village? "My friend asked me. "yes, is it a relevant answer to you?" I asked him again.

"Yes, I wanted to predict his future for his past behavior wishing to him the best." He said and stared at me just as a seer.

"Are you a seer?"

"No, but I have some prowess in my mind to predict humans future fate from his current and past trends." He said to me.

"How?" I asked him.

"I will tell you after your reply to my prior questions. Do you know him well behaviorally everywhere in his prior life?" he asked me again.


"Yeah, as I remember him, he had a Willpower, poor intelligence but high motivation to learn and know, poor communication affected by loneliness and depression, not successful to be loved by his beloved; but he had the ability to delay gratification because I observed him most of the time he was not as other boys to eat and drink on time, he did lag mostly." I told him some of my friend's traits in our friendship." 


"Thanks for your information. But I am sad for his futurity from the traits you told me all. He might be considered as a fool man in the new society he joined due to his will power, he might be considered as a lazy and a goofy not to be granted responsibilities, this can make him to lose at least a daily wage jobs; life can be hard to him because he might not be loved by a woman easily and you consider that how it is difficult to live without a lover." And he keeps silent for a while then sipped the remaining coffee with a breath from the cup. I, eagerly awaited what he would needed to say for our old friend fate. " So, is these all about your projection ?" I asked him firmly. "Yes, our friend's futurity could be misery, poverty, early death, psychopathy…. Bla bla bala…." He did put his fear and asked me again. " was there any other behaviors which can give to us a hope for his future destiny news? … oops, I worried and tried to think better ones wishing the future of our friend to become bright. "Tell me, please?" he nagged me.


"Okay, yep !! Yes!!! He was conscientious in every action of him. He was so alerted to awake for tricks made on him, he had an ability to identify and deny lies as husks." I said eagerly to make our friends' future better. "Oops, tell me another, this is not enough input to my projection." He said to me. Then I did ponder well deeply to fetch some old memories from my long term memory part. Then I did remember some two traits of my old friend, then I asked him that," is a childhood adversity a good indicator of a future fortune?" 


" hmm,… may be, people who came from a lower class may respond to challenges, people who were primed to deal with adversity handle the future hardship better than others.. This means not an indication to see his good fortune of the future. Everything looks like dark! Oh God!!" my friend said to me kindly and honestly. "Another trait please???" he asked me looked as stood at despair point of view as our old childhood friend. "Is there any victorious history of him? "he asked me again. I remember while he defeated other bad children and won in combat before long year. Then I said immediately," Yes, he fought with other village boys and won all." I said happily. "How many times he combatted?" he asked me again. 


"As you knew him he was very decent and lonely most of in his childhood ages. Therefore boys were happy to attack him merely with their matter. Due to this reason I knew while he fought more than three times in high school." I said well.


"Let's pray for him, he may be safe and accused for others fault and crimes. But if he will use his utmost power of willingness to aid others they will choose him to help in return. But who cares in this era to help others. I haven't observed any good luck based on his prior traits and living history. Let God save and help him." He said and I said "Amen." Suddenly a man who drives an expensive car horns the klaxon of the car and we both observed him while he did call us. "Who is that man?" we asked likewise with surprise. "He is him!! He is him!!" we both said and did run to him, and he waited us stretched his arms beside the car cabin. "Hi, I have not seen both of you longer after my high school completion." He said and embraced both of us after his salutation.


Then we started to ask about him by raising questions. At that time no one of his old friends were completed their degree, they were a third year students. As he told to us, he became the richest man due to his decision to use his power, but he told his lie as he got the wealth with trading across the border of the country. The reality after I searched to know the truth was he migrated to rob with others and returned successfully. At that time he became a millionaire owning two restaurants in the main city but his friends were on education. They will have many up and downs in their future starting from searching jobs.
