Nature or nurture, which one has major influence on our personality and development? This issue has been widely debated in our country nowadays. As far as I am concerned, I am inclined to support the standpoint that nurture plays a more crucial role in youngsters development. To begin with, scientific research has already proved that the intelligence quotient we were born with is not differ from each other too much. We have to admit that the so-called whiz-kids could be found are actually seldom. If we want to lead to any success, we need to rely on postnatal education and self-struggle which are the decisive factors. For example, Edison was regarded as a fool in his primary school. However, he got uneaqualed achievement by his own efforts. In the second place, childrens limited natural gift will disappear soon if his/her nurture can not support it sufficient. Only can we say that the advantageous intelligence is a helpful condition to achievement, but the advantages will not last for long. There is Chinese fable: a boy called zy had some talents in poetry, so his father continuous take him to attend feast to boast his gift instead of bringing him to school, several years latter, zy have not any intelligence in composing poems any more. Therefore, we can find how important does the parental education and studying environment are! Finally, the concept for success given by Einstein also indicates the essential effect of education and hardworking. He said: success is equal to 99% of diligence plus only 1% of genius. From his notion, we can easily find that the diligence is the indispensable element for peoples accomplishments. |
