History offers us interesting anecdote. Once a palmist told Napoleon that he would never be able to win a single battle because the victory line on his palm was ill-formed. Napoleon immediately took a knife and asked the palmist to show him the line which is ill-formed.

After this Napoleon did go on winning war after war.
