That leaves chance, or nepotism, which ultimately is also chance in my estimation. Life is a crapshoot, and the dice were cast before you were born. Hooray!

"Chance" I'd rather refer to as "luck," and "luck" is something I believe can be manipulated and harnessed through positive thinking and persistance. I know I'm sounding like one of those self-help book nutsacs, but I've witnessed what a little thrust and determination can do in situations that seem hopeless.
