Maturity

Age is often associated with maturity, but my experience showed that that is not true at all. If you ask for a definition of maturity from ten people, you will get ten answers, most with some truth in it. I think its better to equate maturity with they way one thinks, the way one prioritises, the way one handles adversity and success. Below was a pretty good summary which I read from Quora:

Maturity is when you stop trying to change people, and instead focus on changing yourself. 

Maturity is when you accept people for who they are. 

Maturity is when you understand that everyone is right in their own perspective.
