Whether Kings or Queens, Bill Gates or Mark Zuckerberg, they all are or became because of sheer luck. The sheer luck that they were born in a royal family, or in a wealthy family, the sheer luck that they were born with those certain genes or tendencies to overcome adversity, the sheer luck that they were at the right place at the right time, the sheer luck that their genes or family have given them the discipline required to work hard and the environment required to develop their skills. Many are not so lucky. Many do not become so successful. Not because they are lazy or inferior, but because they are less lucky. While praise therefore ought to be given to those who have risen by merit rather than title, greater praise ought to be given to those who use their power and influence for the greater good.
