"They are still limted by what my nature is"

While I agree that there are ingrained personality trends, I strongly believe that they are not "limiting" and easily overcome through nuture.

What I mean by "limited" is that they have to overcome certain flaws or faults in me, and even moreso, unless I am willing, I may be stiff-necked and rebellious and all their training comes to nought.

Nature and nurture, but still parents can only do so much with an unwilling child.

Similar to alcohol/drug treatment programs, the first (biggest step) is to (be willing to) admit you have a problem.
