Nature or nurture?
       I'm 49% of the former
       and 51% of the latter-

     nature is linear and  deterministic
     nurture in learning and experiencing
     forges ahead and is always dynamic
     also  there's no standing-still
     from beginning to ending

     whatever nature has endowed me
      is the raw material I need
      to mould into the desired shape
      that will my life harmoniously fit
      made possible by the maturity of nurture
      both I'll never fail to keep

      the two are twins in symbiosis
      they need each other and never compete
      those who segregate them will suffer setbacks
      and their lives will not be complete
