A conversation I had today reminded me about something interesting.

About a month ago, I got a fortune cookie that said “Don’t be hasty. Prosperity will soon knock on your door.”. I seem to recall lamenting the fact that I didn’t have a girl in my life. Guess what? a few weeks later, it was brought to my attention that a girl (who I’m now dating) had a big crush on me. Coincidence? I’m doubting it.

Sure, sometimes if you get a fortune cookie it may say something stupid like “don’t do drugs”. But when you actually get a fortune, pay attention to it. You might wind up in the midst of a self-fulfilling prophecy. This here link, albeit funny, shows what having a fortune cookie fortune come true or false can do to people. I recommend reading it, it’s a pretty funny story.

Well, that’s all from me. It’s kinda disjointed, but i hope you look at fortune cookies in a new, happier way.
