Genetics: how much do they determine the course of an individual's life?

[Deicide]

I finished my Law course at uni - done nothing with it.

I think I could have been half decent at a sport - I would have liked to try something like the javelin or hammer throw. I had the chance at 19 and was too lazy or tired to do it.

I was excellent at drawing and painting. particular faces and people.

I have finally got a FT job which is pretty well paid and has very good opportunities. I am 24 and only just starting out in life. The only saving grace is that I am on the way up and now stagnating or moving backwards.

I wasted 4-5 years obsessing with weights. I no longer obsess at all. I wish I had this mindset when I was 19

Goudy, I wish I were 24 again.

Lets just say this: when little johnny looks up to daddy and says "dad, I want to be a rocket scientist" or little bobby looks up to daddy and says "day, I want to be a baseball player," we know the usual come back--dad says "son, you can do anything you put your mind to."

Unfortunately, this is not true. Not everything is possible. People are constrained by their genetic limitations. Its a hard fact of life! But it is the truth.

Yup. People need to be more honest with their children.

I wish I was 34 again.  Hell...even 40.

Once a year isn't a bad thing. Maybe people's opinions have changed, maybe new people want to add their voice and remember, your big cock is all genetics.

This isn't a THG thread. It's more a general genetics thread.

Life is what you make of it.
Folks who have high self esteem and are willing to engage in things that they deem interesting(also risky!) fare pretty well. Even better if they happen to find a mentor which guides them on their path.

On the other end there are the pessimistic, depressed and manic folks who even with lots of money go in circles celebrating their own little hell - simple fillers in life's game.

I'm 32 and basically have to start from scratch, but I'm thankful that I can leave things behind that would have been sub optimal solutions for the things I'm seeking.

Genetics for bodybuilding are a hilarious trait that may be important if you're a teen and have no friends.

Sure. At the end of the day, you put behind whatever your genetic card hand might be and make the best of it. I am pretty happy dude these days, questions like these are more about the hypothetical than anything else. Lucky Strike. Sonst Nichts.

Good for you man. Coming out of the closet must have been a big relief.

genetic limitation? no such thing. maybe in certain cases on a technicality, but for practical purpouses, nope.

Enviroment, luck and means are as important as genetics imo. If you were born into poverty in some 3rd world country and forced to work like a dog your entire life, how would you know what your potential could be? If you never have to worry about money or material goods, you have a huge advantage over everyone else because you can spend your whole life doing what suits you. Luck trumps almost everything and can't be explained scientifically.

Genetics definetly matter, but I would say enviroment is probably 50%, genetics is 25% and 25% is shit that nobody can explain-- luck, chance, whatever you want to call it.
