Nurture or nature
« on: January 03, 2014, 10:58:09 AM »
Do you believe environment makes a difference? For instance if Lenny Mclean was born to a rich couple in some fancy part of London as opposed to the shit rough east end he d still be 6 ft 4 and 280lbs with hands like shovels. But he would nt have that hate. My point is can well up brought kids make fighters?

I'd say 70/30 nurture/nature. Sure, you may have the disposition to become a junkie, but if you never pick it up, you'll never become one.

if they have addict blood, they'll always be addicted to something.

might be work.  might be women.  or food or alcohol or drugs or just watching Friends DVDs all day.

Addict blood just has to be pointed at productive things.  I'd argue most successful top CEOs are obsessed with work, success, etc.

Agreed. I've never not been addicted to something. Whether that was lifting, coke, e, working, reading or even design, there is always something.
