You have a combination of talents, skills, and interests that are unique to you. But you live in a larger society that may not consider your abilities.
It is improbable that life is going to grant you a situation that perfectly matches your strengths. You may not be in the optimal culture for your interests. You may be exposed to the wrong subject or sport. Knowing this, you have to take an unsuitable condition and turn it into a well-matched one.

Entropy explains many mysteries and experiences
When we consider the human body, the atoms that make up your body could be arranged in nearly any combination and lead to no form of life.

The beauty of art
Artists can create a form of order and symmetry that the universe cannot replicate on its own.
