“I happen to think that nurture or upbringing is more important because that is what results in character and personality.”

I’m not so sure that “nurture” is more important.

It could be argued to be more important in that the innate genetic intelligence goes unused for great things without the proper nurture.

But the proper nurture won’t make a genius out of non-genius.

That’s how I see it but nothing is etched in stone.

Intelligence is over-rated.

Nothing offers more pain or benefit than having or not having quality relationships.
............
Relationship skills come from parenting. Good parenting skills come from watching good parents struggle and overcome, and sharing unconditional love with there family.

Genetics won’t give you that.

As far as success goes, the greatest asset is boldness.
