DAF DISCUSSIONS - NIDAH 16

Gavriel Enoch asks:

On Niddah 16b, Rav Montrose writes:

RAV AVIGDOR MILLER zt'l used to say that a person must learn to identify which of his traits are Techunos and which are Midos. Techunos, he would explain, are hereditary and must be put to use for good purposes, since they generally will not change. For example, a person who has a Techunah to be active should work on applying that trait for good things, and he should not try to break his active nature. On the other hand, a bad Midah is not hereditary; rather, it is something that a person picked up at some point in his life. If one realizes that this tendency is leading him in the wrong direction, then he should not try to work with this Midah, but rather he should try to break his habit and change.

Can you tell me the source for this? Is it in a book or from a lecture, or otherwise?

Thanx
