Have you ever seen a child who is extroverted whereas his/her parents are total introverts? or a child who hates reading books but his/her parents are book lovers?
This happens since not only genes but the environment around us shapes us as well!
If a child is placed in an environment which promotes social interaction among each other, then he or she is most likely to possess extroverted qualities too.
Similarly, in today’s world mobile phones and video games are dominating the world, so it is possible that the child who is getting exposed to these may hate to read books and instead love playing games despite his book loving parents.
So even if your genes give you certain characteristics, don’t be disappointed because you can achieve much more through the environment provided but this too happens within a limit placed by genes which cannot be crossed!
