Commencement address by Bill and Melinda Gates
"Bill and I talk about this with our kids at the dinner table. Bill worked incredibly hard and took risks and made sacrifices for success. But there is another essential ingredient of success, and that ingredient is luck – absolute and total luck.<p>When were you born? Who were your parents? Where did you grow up? None of us earned these things. They were given to us."<p>Totally true, and very important to remember, especially for the HN crowd.
