Maturity Comes From One's Mind Not Age.

Science has done well enough defining maturity: when you reach certain ages, you began to experience physical and physiological changes. However, looking deep down into life it's more complicated. In the world today, age is just a calendar.

Many are 30 years old, yet, their mind and mentality is just as that of a 13 years old kid. I've seen a 17 years old guy, my age mate, who's a Forex Trader and has made a career off it. In most cases in life, your age isn't worth anything if you do not have results.

Many clamour for respect, owing to their age. Many, pride themselves because they are older. Such a person, is immature not because he hasn't reached the adolescent stage of body, but of life. Maturity comes from experience, knowledge, humility and respect. A broad mind, filled with thoughts in a million words, would get mature irrespective of his age. Reading through veterans biography, experiences, mistake and success empowers your mind. Many people do not acknowledge this truth and they end up being irrelevant at the end.

There's a saying: Make hay while the sun shines. This should apply to all of us living today. Age doesn't matter, results brings respect. Even if you are older, look up, the sun still shines: do something. Embark on a project, pursue a career. Read broadly and stretch your mind. A mature mind produces a mature person for:

As a man thinketh, so is he.

Until next time...

Thank you so much

I can't stress experience enough. I got a top flight education, but I came out of college the same person I went it. It wasn't until after school, when I got that real world/life experience that shaped and molded me and gave me a different perspective on every facet of life. If it wasn't for the experiences I went through at that time, i'd still have the same level of maturity.

This is so true. There is a clear distinction between schooling and education.
