Signature Qualification CA that Empowers to Lead PAKISTAN Discourse DISCOURSE Is your success shaped by your genes? Muhammad Athar Jamal, ACA Mudassar Ghulam Nabi, ACA Karachi Islamabad Born to win. The drive to success is in our genes, say scientists. We may say that majority of successful people have some However, I believe that though DNA isn’t destiny, it does have unique genetic characteristics but it does not mean that something to say about the kind of people we become and every person will be successful. To better understand this what we achieve. But we also know that human development phenomenon, we should first understand the true meaning stems from a complex interaction of the genes we inherit and of success. For me ultimate success in this world is to attain a the environments we encounter. Nature and nurture combine sense of contentment and gratitude in all kinds of situations to make us who we are. If we think success is all innate in life. So, with this definition of success, this hypothesis is not talent, we risk failing to make the most of the ability we have. If we take the view that success is all opportunity, we risk of much relevance. Genes may give inherent abilities, intellect, perpetuating the equally unreal ‘Disney message’ that says, wisdom, attitude and ethics but it won’t work without “You can be anything you want to be.” Hence, in a nutshell, it efforts and the appropriateness of environment in which is both the genes and opportunity along with hard work that it is executed. Success shaped by genes does not mean it’s determines your talent and lead to success in every walk of shaped without the involvement of knowledge, experience, life, whether it’s your education or professional career or your lucrative conditions, availability of opportunities and the most personal life. importantly, blessings of Allah. 46 The Pakistan Accountant April-June 2017
