Parental skills especially celebrity vocations or talents being bequeathed by the later descendants .Though rare,the phenomena holds ground in many fields of activity. While skills are latent some of the inherent qualities are truly transferred from parents to their offspring. Skill in a game is by no means a hereditary concern. It is rather dependent on consistent training and availability of right opportunities. If the son or daughter of a famous movie star has gained stardom ,it does not support the conviction that all actors' children would follow the footsteps of their fathers.

Hello sukumar,
I agree the talents may get transferred to the kids. Moreover, the atmosphere is also making to develop that particular skill since the childhood. For eg. if the father or mother is a musician the child is hearing and learning all those since birth. So it is natural to get an inborn talent in them.
However, I don’t agree, a political leader’s children follow the same foot steps just in the name of hereditary. Most of the time, they are not matured enough to rule the nation.

i agree, the situation and environment also playing an important role in our life. If we raise up a terrorists son in a good environment, surely he will become a good person without the impacts of terrorism.

Talent is not hereditary and there is nowhere skills are transferable. Parents have built their careers along the road and they are now successful so that is why they are helping their children get into the entertainment industry so their lives would be easier and they could become famous as them their parents are.

I totally agree with skynepin. I think talent is not hereditary also. Kids are born without any much difference in the wisdom. All their activity and behavior come from the environment of their growing. If we put a kid to be breed by a wolf, I don't think his wisdom can match a common human. That is why the wolf human story comes.

In many ways, I do see that children very much do follow in the footsteps of their parents. For example, I grew up with a mother that was always very supportive and attentive to us. Now that I am a mother, that is something that I also find that I do with my children.
My father was a physician's assistant and when I was a child, I always thought that I would grow up to be a doctor. I never did that in my life, but I did work as a nurse which is also in the medical field.

I agree. What one can inherit are potentials. Potentials fueled by passion and training can make up a talent. Passion is stimulated in a child's mind by the environment, particularly parents and home. So it is definitely not a guarantee if a parent is famous, that the child can have the same skills and talents too.

Hi friend, some persons are taking their parents as their role model and following their foot steps, some others are interested in finding their uniqueness and improve them in their field, whatever it is, we must express our talent to the world and gain a good name with it.
