- Ms. kiran A

Maturity is the ability to make a decision and stand by it. The immature spend their lives exploring endless possibilities; then they do nothing.
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.
Know and like yourself
Morality of the Heart that self-esteem reflects our sense of inner goodness. 'Without this experience, one is often overly inhibited or unable to take the necessary steps to further moral growth. Self-esteem allows…self-honesty (and)…support for necessary self-scrutiny.'
FOr example ,A student who had a violent temper. 'His awareness of this inability to control his temper became a factor in all his decisions. He deliberately avoided situations which might give rise to an explosion. He showed emotional maturity by accepting his immaturity - his uncontrolled temper.'
A mature person recognizes his weakness. He avoids occasions of wrongdoing and looks for opportunities to do good.
Dealing with immaturity
Ability to deal constructively with reality
Capacity to adapt to change Few symptoms of tension and anxiety
Ability to find more satisfaction in giving than in receiving Capacity to consistently relate to others with mutual satisfaction and helpfulness
Ability to direct hostile energy into constructive outlets Capacity to love
'The words maturity and immaturity differ by only two letters but the difference being a matured and immatured person makes a lot of difference in life .'
'God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change.
Courage to change the things I can.
And the wisdom to know the difference.' - Reinhold Neibuhr
