You must not give fortunetellers any credit for your accomplishment.

Suppose a politician visited a fortuneteller. Of course, this man is one who doesn't have a decent view of life. Couldn't  he have enough  self-confidence not to ask a fortuneteller, a typical imposter, about his future?

 

Anyway, what the politician heard from the fortuneteller was that he would be a president. And really he became a president as the imposter had said. (But it was by mere chance!) Then, was it indeed thanks to the fortuneteller that he became a president?

No! First, the greatest credit must be turned to his parents who have worked so hard to raise and educate him. Then his teachers who educated him to be a good politician must be thanked by him deeply. He must thank supporters also who have helped him in his election campaign. Above all else, he can not ignore the people who believed him and chose him.

You should not attribute all these achievements of many people to a man, a fortuneteller who makes money by fraud. Who of all fortunetellers can predict the exact day of his death? It is far easier than one-digit-addition to prove that all fortunetellers are swindlers. (This kind of swindler usually steals merits and honor from others as well as their money.)
