[QUOTE="Jogeephus, post: 1385934, member: 4362"] I knew you weren't trying to make some racist claim that would make Hitler proud just messed with you to get you to be more specific and add clarity. And thanks for taking the time to do so because your list highlights some common denominators I expected to see. While I don't agree with you on it being genetic, less of course your family tree has no branching, because I think most children are born equal and its the influences and upbringing that sets them apart later in life. Environmental influences if you will and what makes it difficult is realizing each child is different and requires a different hand on the lead rope and this takes dedication and devotion on the part of the parents. Your thoughtful description has many common denominators I expected to see. The instillation of self confidence which allowed him freedom to take some chances and not fear criticism, your involvement in his schooling, your self confidence to allow him outside the box to learn from others, self sacrifice on the parents part and of course your encouragement both verbally and materialistically and very importantly a love of reading books. In short, you allowed him to be HIM and you didn't relive your life through him but changed your life to center around him. From what I've witnessed, this seems to always be a recipe for a child's success in whatever field they choose and I think if all parents would follow this path then we would all be better off because its the people, not the government, that makes america great. And, BTW, I still think america is great and is full of opportunities if one desires to pursue them. Just out of curiosity, how many books would you say he read a month? [/QUOTE]
