If they want some extra advantages for their family, the only surefire way I know to get them is to work. Hard work is not a bad thing. Sure, natural talent can make a big difference. But show me a natural .300 hitter in the major leagues, and I'll show you someone who bangs the ball until their hands bleed trying to keep that stroke honed. It takes iron determination and lots of hard, hard work.
Success comes before work only in the dictionary.
