This is an ongoing discussion that involves achievement, behavior, and much more. If you have read or heard the Scorpion and the Frog story, you are aware of the concept of nature being hard to change.
It is rather obvious that people generally do not change very much. Even when people do commit to changing for the better, they often have a difficult time of it after the original committment. If you have not read The Magic Story, I strongly recommend it.
This story is one answer to the question of changing nature. It is a story of becoming and remaining your best self.
Turning to the question of nurture, I have observed that nature is actually a stronger influence than nurture. Even with a poor upbringing, individuals will succeed if it is in their nature to succeed. On the other hand, if it is in an individual's nature not to succeed, even nurturing might not overcome this lack of desire.
The Magic Story gives advice that will help a person overcome either lack of strong positive nature or strong nurturing. That is why I recommend it.
