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. His best friend, Kent Evans, equally talented, faced a tragic one-in-a-million event, dying in a mountaineering accident before graduation. These contrasting fates highlight how external factors of luck and risk significantly shape life outcomes, beyond individual effort.
