Verbals are verb forms which act as another part of speech in a sentence. Verbal <span>phrases are verbals and any of the </span>verb<span> form's modifiers, objects, or complements</span>.
One of the richest men in the world is the appositive.
It has a comma that separates it from the rest of the sentence and the sentence makes sense without it as "Bill Gates started Microsoft."
If Bill Gates had a comma after it, it would be the apositive and the sentence would be "One of the richest men in the world started Microsoft," but since there is only one comma the appositve is "One of the richest men in the world."
I'm answering the literal and metaphorical question.
Say you have two rivers that are parallel and symmetrical, any little disturbance or alteration to the direction of one of will gradually make them end up in very different locations (may take years, but will happen 100%).

Now imagine two friends that have grown up in a married, middle class, family, they have went to the same school, had similar career goals, and hang out with the same friends. Friend one plans to be a nurse and the other a veterinarian. They start out the same, but as the education there're career(s) require, the farther they end up. Life is unpredictable and NOTHING is ever guaranteed.
