i am the master of my won fate
“I am the master of my own fate; I am the captain of my own ship”. ... Being a human gives the chance to explore options, to take chances, to change fate. ... The poem George Gray by Edgar Lee Masters is a perfect example of how fear can hinder or prevent changing fate and making life the best it can be. During George grays life, he wouldn’t have agreed with the statement “I am the master of my own fate, I am the captain of my own ship”- William Henry. George Gray spent his life running from his fate- he did nothing to change his life, even though he wanted too.
