MATURITY

What's on your mind when you hear a word 'maturity'? People in average will say that maturity is owned by old people such as parents, teachers, or teenagers who are the age above 17. They say that because they didn't think first that there are differences between becoming mature or just getting older. For me, maturity does not automatically happened by the person. It depends on the people's mindset. So, my own definition of maturity is the ability to control anger and settle differences without violation or distruction, perseverance, sweating out a project in spite of opposition and discouraging setbacks.


The first definition of maturity is the ability to control anger and settle differences without violation or destruction. What does it mean? The word 'control anger' has a deep meaning. The one that I can tell is people should control their emotions in every way. For example, as a student in my class, I always have different way of thinking, especially in solving some questions about Mathematics. When the teacher told us the way to solve the question, I have different opinion from him and I think he got the false answer in solving it. Then, I told about my opinion to my friend and she thought the same as me. After that I asked my friend to discuss it with our teacher personally. Finally, we got the problem solving without violation or destruction. That's a simple example from my experience. You can control your emotion when you got different opinions with other people.

The second definition of maturity is the ability to sweat out a project. The words 'sweating out' has the same meaning with the words 'go on'. No matter how hard the situation is, you must persevere. You must struggle in this life to reach your goal. People in average usually give up when they have set backs in accomplishing a mission. It's a bad habit. You must keep going on eventhough there are many oppositions. It's important because if you have already reached your goal, you will be in your paroxysm of joy.

In short, maturity is an important thing in our life. Maturity is the ability to control anger and settle differences without violation or destruction; maturity is also perseverance, sweating out a project in spite of opposition and discouraging setback. Well, I think that's all about my own definition of maturity. I hope it can give many adventages to people who read it. :')
