Does your parents or even your name determine your future?

My friend sent an email wherein he read a book call Freakonomics. What stayed with him is that Parents in one way or another influences or determines a child's future. So regardless he is in a private school or a public school, he can still be infuenced by his genetic setup. Agree? How about a person's name influencing his future?

it is a good book deserving your attention. and in my experience, a good name will give you more chance some time, so in this way, it can benefit you and give a positive influence your future.

While it's true that parents can influence your future, they cannot determine it-only you can. If names influenced our futures, I think we'd all be in some trouble.
