Ordinary people can achieve success through their parents' guidelines and their own hard working Today, many countries have elite universities for students all over the world, but the students who get admissions from those universities are not necessary geniuses. There are, indeed, students who are talented at certain things such as dancing or painting. However Excellence can also be achieved by those who are not. From the age of industrial revolution, a large number of geniuses have sprung up. Their incredible High IQs are due to two reasons. Firstly, as the living standards have been largely improved, children nourishing become good enough to foster a child with high intelligence. Secondly, scientific research has proved that people’s genes change in an advantaged way sometimes which makes them genius in some areas. Such as Einstein, he was proved born with talent and he did make a huge leap in human scientific history. However it is possible for ordinary people to be proficient in areas where talented people make achievements through several ways. The most common way is hard working. Practice makes perfect. If people devote themselves into what they pursue, they probably succeed in those areas. For instance, Chinese table tennis player Deng Yaping was not so well at this sport, but she practiced hard instead of sitting before the TV like most of her peers did. Then she became a world Ping-pong Champion. Also, parental instructions are essential to lead to children’s good performance in certain subject. For example, Children who get inspiration and encouragement from their parents are more successful in things that they are specified in than those whose parents pay little attention on them. While children who without surveillance may even tend to be involved in anti-social activities and end up doing nothing. Overall, I believe that although there are lucky intelligent people who are born with talents and they often contribute greatly in areas they are in, their peers who are not that intelligent can also achieve great success though their parents’ guidelines and their own consistent hard-working.
