Opportunity & Choice

Lately I have been pondering over how our life's course is decide by these two words.
Opportunities is very obvious as to why someone born in sub Saharan Africa or with all kinds of disadvantages of gender, race, place, wealth, parentage, society & religion can not have the opportunity to make choices which someone else from a privileged background will have.

But my point is interrelation between them i.e. someone with less opportunities also , if he makes correct choices one after another then he can create opportunities for him like say Abraham Lincoln or Dhirubhai Ambani for that matter & similarly someone with opportunities gets to make more choices .
We can see this daily around in our life as well as others life.
So what architect says to Neo in matrix that as you put precisely chocie is the question I think it is incomplete choice which leads to opportunity is crucial and the other way around.
