The great Japanese warrior named Nobunaga decided to attack the enemy, although there were ten times more enemies. He knew he would win, but his soldiers doubted.
On the way, he stopped at a Shinto shrine and said to his people:
— After I visit the shrine, I will toss a coin. If it comes up heads, we win, if it comes up tails, we lose. Fate holds us in its hands.
Nobunaga entered the shrine and silently prayed. When he left, he tossed a coin. It came up heads. His soldiers were so eager to fight that they easily won the battle.
“No one can change fate,” the servant told him after the battle.
“Of course not,” Nobunaga replied, showing him a coin that had heads on both sides.
