Self-destruction. Do we know people who self-destruct, who are so capable yet condemn themselves to fail? WHY? Where is the drive to success or at least the drive to pass through unnoticed?
There are differences in parenting, upbringing, encouragement, and pressure. Pressure creates a need to do better. Where encouragement and such means doing better. I definitely think, no, I know for certain that I am as driven and successful today because of my parents guidance, encouragement, and pushes in the right direction throughout my entire upbringing. There is so much evidence and so many cases where you can see the parents upbringing style and involvement with the kids directly effects how the kids turn out, no matter their personal talents or natural drive to succeed.
