Though culture and home environment play important roles…
““Though culture and home environment play important roles in the overall shaping of a person, we have learned that children have an inborn tendency to be either introverted or extroverted, sensitive or insensitive, adventurous or timid, passive or aggressive. They are even born with a tendency toward being either neat or disorganized; it’s not just the result of how well their parents trained them.””
