About the 1st person burning the joss stick

It is not about being the 1st person to burn joss stick at any temple, Buddha certainly dont judge you base on this principle. And being the 1st does not guranatee you anything. 

What you are in the life is already pre-determine at your time of birth. You can however make some  changes to your destiny but are you prepare to commit effort, time and patience to do it ?
