NATURE/NURTURE DEBATE
Dr. John H. Braccio talks with Dave Akerly on the “Morning Wake-Up With Dave Akerly” Radio Show, on 4/24/18 on WILS, 1320 a.m. in Lansing, Michigan about the always interesting and debatable NATURE/NURTURE DEBATE over whether genetic ability or environment more dominantly defines the success a person will have in life. I would argue it is how a person develops his/her God given abilities and desire to fully develop and implement them that determines how far the person will go in life.We only need to look at the extreme examples of karatay bayan arkadaş Magic Johnson and Albert Einstein to make the case in stark terms. Magic was unique in basketball as a six foot nine inch point guard who could do things from that position that few persons of any height could do but were and still are unique for someone his size. His greatness was that he developed his personality and desire to the same unique levels as his physical ability and became one of the greatest iconic basketball players of all time. Albert Einstein, the theoretical physicist, was brilliant in physics to an equally unique level as was Magic as a basketball player. Again, like Magic, he developed the personality and desire to go with his unique mental ability to develop one of the foundations of modern physics, the Theory of Relativity. The point is that it is the mixture of one’s unique God given abilities and desire to fully develop and implement them to the highest level possible that allows for maximum success if one controls for opportunity and desire, the person with greater ability will predictably be better in a field than the person of lesser ability.
