In 1968, Bill Gates attended one of the few high schools globally with a computer, a rare one-in-a-million chance. This access led to the founding of Microsoft, as Gates noted in a 2005 speech.

These contrasting fates highlight how external factors of luck and risk significantly shape life outcomes, beyond individual effort.
