I have seen family's give all the right guidance and opportunities and children still end up a mess. I have seen horrible families do everything wrong and seen children become quite successful.

Environment plays a part but self determination plays an even larger one. One of my current favorite sayings is "you come into this world looking like your daddy, you leave this world looking like your decisions."

That’s a funny saying, considering who your daddy (and mommy) is most predictive of your future. Obviously perseverance and effort are important, but so is being born to the right parents.
