Answer:
In my opinion, it all depends on the child's attitude. Your parents may prove to be unsuccessful in life or be horrible people with bad morals, but if you choose to live differently from them, despite your genes and upbringing, you will succeed. No one has to live the life of their parents, especially if they lived a bad one. And even if your parents are successful, that doesn't mean you will be. It might motivate you to follow in your footsteps, cause they are good footsteps, but the decision is up to you. You can generalize that "every child is like their parent". A father might be a bad man, but that doesn't mean the son has to be too. He could become a successful businessman, open his own firm and have a beautiful family whom he cherishes. It all depends on the person's character, mindset, and life goals.
