i am struggling for the past years of my university life to be mature.And now i formed the notion of mature in my mind:1.take responsibility of what u did 2.set your goal for your life and take action;3.always let the people you care know you love them;4.hold firm where you think to be right ,but leave some room for the honest correction;5.conceal your real feeling unless it is necessary to show out in particular time and particular place;6.reserve your behavior before strangers ;7.learn some etiquettes needed in some special occasions;8.dismiss the habits that are not expected in a person of quality;9.form your own exterior image ,don't wear the clothes that are not consistent with character;10.briefly, package yourself to the perfection hoth interior and exterior .Do you agree with me,or would you please share your own opinion?

i agree with you. actually most people thinke that maturity is growth but its not true,there are adults who do not know what to do at the right time, they can not control themselves were and when neccessary,do not know their responssibilities,they can not do a thing if someone do not help them do it,this class of adults have no goals for their life and so do not have focus, they are careless in in natur,have no public conduct,claim to know everything when they know nothing and do not care to learn,mannerless and do not care about what people say about their ill behaviour.maturity is in the mind,not in physical appearacnse. u can see a child behaving like an adult, that is a sign of maturity.what do you think?

In my point of view the maturity comes as you grow and learn from your experience and do not do the same mistake as you did in the past. I think in my life the maturity comes right after my marriage. And now I have got three kinds. All are precious for me. As you grow the maturity comes. And by the way every person has his own maturity level.

Mabe the notion of maturity is kind of different between us,the relation of maturity and age vary from person to person.Some people become mature when they are very young,some become mature when they are adult ,and some become mature when they are old,and for some ,they never become mature in their life.Thanks for your response!

I think maturity is being responsible for who you are and at the same time comfortable with who you are. Simply put of course. I don't think that you're mature because of a certain age or certain money aspects or anything. I think that it's just being content with yourself and comfortable in your own skin but in a responsible way. if that makes any sense to you.

Yes,you are right,money ,age, or anything else is by no means the token of maturity .Maturity is a kind of metal state achieved only by your experience.

Hi fangzi. As you have drawn out all the items that comply to your wishes and one's intention, nothing more that I am able to add. The all 10 items or specifications consider firm and outstanding as positive thinking and positive action. Positive thinking means the way of one's mind to have set the short, mid and long term goals where the objectives are; towards solution findings, minimize risks factor and moving forward attitude. HAPPY DAPPY.

I think i am not mature now ,even if i am 23 years old .in my opinion ,the mature man and woman ,firstly,should take the responsibility of family and parents ,secondly,he should know the socitey and can make a live and deal with most common things correctly.if he /she can deal with many trouble and accident things ,he/she are more mature than others.the age stand of nothing including mature or not.that is my opinion.

I agree, these are rules that a mature person should and must go by. Form your own exterior image from your interior. Try not to be stiff and rigid in relationship with other people.
