Fate, Agency And Dumb Luck

There are certain things that are fated, that no matter how hard we try are beyond our ability to alter or shape.  There are certain things over which we do have agency.  And then of course there is dumb luck.  But suppose you put me in exactly the same place where I started, with the same parents, living on the same street, and you gave me 99 more tries.  There would be 99 different outcomes.
