Nature can affect how someone acts in various ways. In other words, the genetics that someone was born with can affect the way someone’s behavior is. In the article “ The Science of Success”, the author, David Dobbs, uses a metaphor to help explain the personalities of people who may be influenced by the genetics they were born with. David states in the article “most of us have genes that make us as hardy as dandelions: able to take root and survive almost anywhere. A few of us, however, are more like the orchid: fragile, but capable of blooming spectacularly if given greenhouse care.” What David means by this is some people are fragile like an orchid, but if they are given the correct environment to be in, the “orchid” can grow up to be spectacular.
