Many people argue that success of an individual depends upon the environment in which he or she has grown up. However, in my opinion, native place’s environment is only one factor but a person’s attitude, capability and determination also play a pivotal role in achieving success.
Native environment plays a detrimental role in inculcating traits such as leadership, social skills etc. These qualities an individual acquires over a period of time. The behaviour of people in neighbourhood, school friends and college friends significantly affects behaviour and skills of a person. For instance, Barak Obama, the first black president, received most of his leadership skills from people with whom he spent his childhood time.
On the other hand, it is not only native environment that is responsible for development of an individual and his success. After an individual moves out from his native place to some other place for work he tends to learn new things that he was not aware about at his home place. Moving to other places introduces an individual to new ideas and new ways of doing things. It allows a person to do thing in a broad perspective and this open-minded thinking plays a vital role in a person’s success. For example, Jack Ma is a famous Chinese businessman achieved all his success only after leaving his hometown. While moving to different places he learnt different people and various skills, which he was not aware of at his native place. And these new learning helped him rule the business world.
To conclude, only native environment may not be behind an individual’s success. There are a lot of other factors that take an individual towards success.
