I'm going to shock you and say "yes." There's a certain sense that temperament and disposition may be modified by experience, while your nature is something you're stuck with. Not that you're going to act like a baby when you grow up, but your nature will unfold according to nature's plan. (This is not a scientific statement - just my sense of the way the words are commonly used.)
