    Well they did this test when two twins separated at birth and living in two different environments ended up being two quite different people.

    To be successful,you need to act first like a successful person and then after having focussed towards your goal, you will achieve it.Whether you achieve it now or later,it doesn't matter. Achieving it finally, is important.

    success is for everyone! it's just depends on the person on how he will make it! how to achieve it rather.

    No, I don't think that success is in the genes, it is a matter of hard work and dedication and a little bit luck.

    Some of the best intellectuals actually follow the university research line which means they are never going to be the biggest earners.

    I don't think it's in the genes any more that criminality is, unless it's sports, maybe. But for success in business, I think its more to do with personality, upbringing and opportunity. Opportunity is very important, I think.

    My parents would agree with you sooooooo much.

    But a small part must have an influence on genius parents.

    Genes give you ability. But it takes hard work to bring those abilities into use.

    No, I beleive it is the will and determination of the individual. Many people are unsuccessful because of thier family, misfortune, childhood etc... and some are successful in spite of it..... As for me, I always knew I wanted to be successful, but I wasn't sure how to get there from where I had been. Now I know. It is because of where I have been that I am certain how to get there.
