Good leaders and government policies set the stage for success by creating opportunities and stability. But at the end of the day, your personal choices and actions are a big part of your own success. It's like a teamwork between what's happening around you and what you decide to do
You cannot possibly be part of the team that decides the affairs of the country. You thus have very little role to play here and let the government decide how the country progresses. We tend to have our own opinions as to how the economy should grow and all but these are all short-sighted thoughts unable to see the big picture we make such comments and it seems as though the government is doing it wrong - they are not, still its tough to make the common people understand.
Yes, but a good environment will influence the person to be better, different from a bad environment.
The decision is in your hands, but the environment has a big influence on a person's life.
A good working government will influence the people whom they govern, and thus a good leader will leave an impression of the people they lead.
