bill gates success, genius or chance?
a few days ago there was thread by aden about people with silver spoons claiming that their success came largely from their own devices amd I put this questions out there.
For all the gfy grammer police apologies for typos I'm on mobile.
Lets take bill Gates the most successful person in tech and arguably of our time.
Would he be the same bill gates we know today if he born into a low income family and started working with computers just a decade later?
Personally i think that a lot of ones success is self made but a lot also come from chance ...
I watched his biography and he was born into a privileged family and that allowed access to computer technology at very early age when children from low incomes did not have that opportunity or access to computers.
Sure he may have a gift but what if he has no access to tools to hone those tools.
he may be successful regardless but what if you didn't start computers till 10 years later
