Maturity is...
Maturity is the ability to control anger
and settle differences without violence or destruction.
Maturity is patience. It is the
willingness to pass up immediate pleasure in favor of the long-term gain.
Maturity is perseverance, the ability to
sweat out a project or a situation in spite of heavy opposition and discouraging
set-backs.
Maturity is the capacity to face
unpleasantness and frustration, discomfort and defeat, without complaint or
collapse.
Maturity is humility. It is being big
enough to say, "I was wrong." And, when right, the mature person need
not experience the satisfaction of saying, "I told you so."
Maturity is the ability to make a
decision and stand by it. The immature spend their lives exploring endless
possibilities; then they do nothing.
Maturity means dependability, keeping
one's word, coming through in a crisis. The immature are masters of the alibi.
They are the confused and the disorganized. Their lives are a maze of broken
promises, former friends, unfinished business, and good intentions that somehow
never materialize.
Maturity is the art of living in peace
with that which we cannot change, the courage to change that which should be
changed -- and the wisdom to know the difference.
CORNY JOKE OF THE DAY:
What did the turkey say to
the turkey hunter on Thanksgiving Day?
“Quack! Quack!”
