"الإنسان هو نتاج لأسباب لم تكن تتوقع النتيجة التي كانت تحققها."
— Bertrand Russell

Simplified Meaning:
People are shaped by various factors and events that do not foresee the final outcome. When we look at our lives, many things influence us, like family, friends, culture, and chance events. These influences don't know how they will ultimately affect us. For example, a famous scientist like Albert Einstein didn't become a great mind because he was predicted to; rather, many small and unrelated events and decisions led him to his discoveries. Similarly, we don't always know where our experiences will take us, but they all play a part in making us who we are. This idea teaches us that while we can't control everything, every little piece of our journey is important in shaping our future, so it's essential to be open and adaptable in life.
