Is there anything in that old Jesuit maxim, which says 'Show me the child of seven, and I'll show you the man'?

If you had the chance today, to meet the seven year old child that was you, choose five words to describe that child, and then say if it still accurately describes your character.

My five words...

- Earnest.

- Artistic.

- Clown.

- Eager.

- Independent.

Although I feel I've had my eyes opened to many things since that age, religion for example, I still think those descriptive words could be applicable now, though I'd probably use more expansive choices.

What about you?

Are you still basically the same person you were at seven years old, or have you changed beyond all recognition?
