If there is a correlation it might not be because of learning a programming language, but rather because of the act of programming. Programming is one of the few things where 1) you can see what you produced doesn't work. FULLSTOP. and 2) there's noone to blame but you. You may blame the computer, the compiler, the teacher ... but if you persist and actually do debug the program you wrote you find out that the blame was on you. Again and again. This does teach some humility. And unteaches blaming others for your faults.

Besides .. polite ne successful. More often than not it prevents success.
