The values that we learn from our parents and family have a greater influence on our future success than the knowledge and skills we learn at school. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

It is sometimes believed the moral principles we learn from our immediate family members play a more decisive role in our future successes than the aptitude or skillfulness developed at school. I believe family and school play vital roles in equal measures in our lives.

It is believed that the extent of success a person achieves in life depends on moral values because one may not find authentic or long-term victories in life if the person has a lost moral character, for it is necessary for one to be honest and genuine in one’s dealings, whether one chooses business or pursuing employment. This is because only trustworthy, kind, and sincere people can go a long way in life. In addition, a person learns how to manage diverse situations in life from their family members. Thus, one’s family atmosphere plays a significant role in building one’s character and deciding future course.

Values are one aspect, yet one’s success or failure depends on one’s skillfulness and expertise at one’s job, which is mainly learned at school. The world is painfully competitive these days. One can not expect to live a life of respect and abundance if one does not know the job well. For example, a person working in the technical field must have an in-depth knowledge of their work. It has been seen that this base of knowledge, skills, and tendency to work hard is built during the school time itself.
