Do you think family background really matter for one's success in life? From my experience, I believe our social class still determine success in life.

Education is a great leveller between the rich and the poor but children from poorest and disadvantaged background end up in the worst school and achieve the worst result.

Hence they have little chance of actualizing their dreams compared to children from wealthy families, who tend to have the right connection, quality education and exposure to achieve their dreams.

So what do you think?

Well I think people born with a silver spoon shouldn't be lazy still.

Anyone that wants to succeed will succeed regardless of his/her family background.

I do not dispute that anyone that is focused and determined to succeed, will not surely succeed. Because for every rule, there is always an exception. But generally speaking, the privilege of a child born to family that are better off, better educated and better situated with a child of poorest family background. The latter will have many challenges to battle with compared with former.

Yes.

Do people break forth?

A lot.

However, the child of a pepper seller has to do much more to attain what the child of a bank CEO would attain with less effort.

YES.

A lot of things affect one's success in life.

Family background
Finance
Genes
Health
Environment

A very important factor though is the individual person's will to succeed. A driven and obsessed individual will overcome all these odds to come out on top while a laid back individual can become poor even if he came from a rich, well educated background.

Strive to succeed and you will become a success.
