Parents are rightly regarded as a child's "pillars of support", for without their endless guidance, we would fail to power through the ups and downs of our lives and successfully reach a set goal. This vision has now sparked some debate on whether the success of a kid is entirely attributed to their parents' upbringing of them. Although children's nurturing plays a key role in imparting values that are instrumental in their strive to success, I partly disagree that it would be the sole contributor, as the child's own hard work too is to be accounted for too.
