Superstar lawyers and math whizzes and software entrepreneurs appear at first blush to lie outside ordinary experience. But they don't.
超級(jí)律師、數(shù)學(xué)天才和軟件企業(yè)家或許會(huì)對(duì)他們是該領(lǐng)域的局外人感到羞愧，但是，這些人不會(huì)。

It is grounded in the web of advantages and inheritances, some deserved, some not, some earned, some just plain lucky—but all critical to making them who they are.
