what do you think of this quote.....?

Question

maturity does not depend upon how many birthdays you have celebrated,but the kind of experience you had and what you learned from them.

Answer 1

I like it. It is pretty poignant.

It sounds comparable to "It's what you learn after you know it all that really counts."

Answer 2

It simple means that it is not the number of years we have lived that matters, what is important are the experiences we go through and the lessons we learn from them.

How can we say we have matured already if we keep doing the same mistakes again and again. Maturing means knowing what is right and wrong, knowing that sacrifices have to be made, knowing that in this road called life, we are always expected to commit mistakes but we must learn from them.

Answer 3

Maturity doesn't necessarily equal the kind of experience or what you have learned. You can still know better but act immature.

It's fallacious with too many holes.

Answer 4

Mark Twain (no relation to Shania) had a much better one

"When I was fourteen, my father was so ignorant, I could hardly stand to be around him. But by the time I was twenty-one, I was impressed by how much the old man had learned in a mere seven years."

Answer 5

Its okay. Your own quote? Could have been written in a more enchanting manner, but the meaning emitted is definetly true.

Answer 6

Excellent quote.

Answer 7

It reminds me of "Not by age but by capacity is wisdom acquired."
-- Titus Maccius Plautus

Answer 8

As a logician, I would have to say, first, define maturity.

Answer 9

That would go with what I believe. It's not the end that matters, but the journey.

Answer 10

I like it. It has a very good meaning and it tells the truth.
