You've got to do your own growing, no matter how tall your grandfather was. Irish Sayings Are we born as a Tabula Rasa_ Latin word for Blank Slat, as John Locke the philosopher of seventeenth century viewed the child? Or are we born as Nobel Savages, naturally endowed with a sense of right and wrong and with an innate plan for orderly, healthy growth as Jean-Jacques Rousseau in the eighteenth century claimed? There are many other theories, research and discussion about human development and growth with regards to nurture and nature. The important point is how we born and in which direction of growth and development are we moving?
