about this story

Locke's research showed that the more difficult and specific a goal is, the harder people tend to work to achieve it. He found that, for 90 percent of the time, specific and challenging goals led to higher performance than easy, or "do your best," goals. He, believed that in a state of nature, people protect their natural rights, life, liberty and property by using their own strength and skill. The weaker and less skilled would find it difficult to protect their rights. In 1647, He was sent to the prestigious Westminster School in London under the sponsorship of Alexander Popham, a member of Parliament and John Sr.'s former commander. After completing studies there, he was admitted to Christ Church, Oxford in the autumn of 1652 at the age of 20. Locke had been looking for a career and in 1667 moved into Ashley's home at Exeter House in London, to serve as his personal physician. In London, Locke resumed his medical studies under the tutelage of Thomas Sydenham. Sydenham had a major effect on Locke's natural philosophical thinking – an effect that would become evident in An Essay Concerning Human Understanding. He died on 28 October 1704, and is buried in the churchyard of the village of High Laver, east of Harlow in Essex, where he had lived in the household of Sir Francis Masham since 1691. Locke never married nor had children.
