Thank you for invitation, from the books that you presented the only one I was not familiar with was "One Hundred Years of Solitude", I absolutely agree that majority of our personality we receive from our ancestors and often we behave ourselves without even knowing that. But I agree with you that we have 5% that we can influence and change ourselves. It is hard because we, human are lazy and often we say: that we do it tomorrow and so the time passes.

Classical literature has a good stuff for consideration and thoughts.
