MM Lee suggested that graduates should marry and have children so that their children will inherit their genes and become more intelligent than other children. On the other hand, non-graduates will produce children who will not excel as well as the other children. I feel that what MM Lee suggested is wrong.
One is never born smart, but he is nurtured to be smart.
Take Albert Einstein for instance, his parents were not super smart. He had to learn everything by himself and study hard in order to become so smart. Furthermore, although he is smart, it did not mean his children were as smart as him. Otherwise, his younger generations would be hitting the headlines now!
People are always influenced by their surroundings and it will affect them in life. This determines their learning abilities in life, not when they are born.
A person from a poor family would concentrate on earning money to support the family and forsake his studies. He will not be educated and not earn much money, so the cycle continues.
However, people from rich families have no worry and do not need to bother about other things, since they are already cared for by their parents. They concentrate on their studies and thus become more successful. Being educated, they will have a good career and care for their children as well, and the cycle continues.
There are cases of rich people forsaking their studies and they become as good as an ordinary citizen, and you might have heard of some poor people who strive to do well and eventually succeed.
So, the key to one being smart, is for him to work hard and concentrate on his education so that he will succeed later in his life. "Heroes are not born, they are made".
