Fate is another way of saying "the outcome of our actions". If 30% of our actions control 70% of our other actions, that means that 70% of our actions are controlled by the consequences of 30% of our previous actions.
In other words, if you blow up a building, 70% of your following actions will be defined by events caused by 30% of the fact that you chose to blow up a building. This would probably because you couldn't predict what your situation would be the next time you have to make decitions.
For instance, there are some things that you HAVE to do. Things that you can't avoid doing, like walking, breathing, moving etc. These, by Al's theory, evidently make up 70% of what we do. The rest is chosen by us, and what the next 70% is, is defind by what the previous 30% was.
At least, that is my interperetation of his theory. These statistics may change depending on what we are doing, but probably stay relatively the same.
