Henry Ford=bill Gates

a: Henry ford ~
b: Bill Gates

What: "Henry Ford is like Bill Gates; he was the right guy at the right time and at the right place. I am not saying that Henry Ford or Bill Gates would not have been successful but their tremendous success was dependent on the times that they were born. If Ford or Gates had been born ten years later, someone else would have probably achieved their success instead."

The research suggests that people in richer countries do tend to be happier than people in not-so-rich ones, but once you have a home, food and clothes, then extra money does not seem to make people much happier."
