What is the most critical age/time in a persons life? Why? How old are you?

Answer 1

4 - 8 years of age - the Jesuits said, give me a child until 8 years and we will give you the man. This is the age when the basic imprinting on your life`s template is made; lessons learned here stick for life and future behaviors are based on this template. You may fool yourself that you can constantly evolve, but you really just move the deckchairs.

Answer 2

The most critical time in a person's life is when they are in school. How well they do in school will basically define what kind of job they will get. If they drop out of high school, there will be a good chance they will be saying "do you want fries with that?". If they go to college then they could have a good job and do well in life. This isn't always the way it works out but this is the most critical time in a person life because it defines what they will be doing for the rest of their lives. I am 15.

Answer 3

I think every age is critical to different parts of a persons development. While you are a youth you learn social skills and work ethic that you will need to use for the rest of your life. Then after you graduate high school you start facing the important decisions of career and family that will affect your lifestyle for most of your life. Then when you reach middle age you are in the positions of leadership where you determine how you are going to leave your mark on the world and how you are going to leave the world for the next generation. Then after retirement you have a lifetime of wisdom that you have acquired and you can use that to help guide the rising generation and mold them.

So each age has critical developments that will form your life and the world. I am 24.

Answer 4

I think the most critical as far as how you will turn out is all the time you are at your parents' home especially during the ages of 0-11 and then puberty hits and until that time between 12-16 (or even longer) is over, people will eventually decide who they are and what is important to them and start to love their parent's again and start to make their own decisions about how they will live their life. I'm 24 now and I think that after high school is also an important time (during ones 20s) because people make even bigger decisions during college and regarding their career, etc....

Answer 5

I'm 27. The most critical times that helped form who I am today are about 14-16 and then after college.
14-16 helped develop my personality and independence. The separation from parents to friends.
Then, when I was about 22-24, I started my career and bought my first house. I learned who I was when I was alone.
Oh, by the way, I married at 24 and had a baby at 27. Neither of these were "critical" to who I am. They are important to me, but the ages I mentioned prior enabled me to become the wife and mother I am.

Answer 6

I think the most critical age in a person' life is when they are in their early 20's, because I think it to be a good age to start figuring out what you want in life. What type of career, whether you want to be married or not, want to have children, etc. It's also a good age to do a turn around if you have screwed up your life.

I am 25 yrs old. I have been married for almost 4 years.

Answer 7

I am 58.So much depends on what is happening to you.I was in a road traffic accident at age 6 so my life went in 1 direction rather than another . married at 27 divorced at 32.my 1st and only child at age 50.I have seen friends and family die. I suspect their is no critical time in ones life .Just events. Thank you for a thought provoking question.

Answer 8

I am 52 now ... and the most critical age was around 20 to 30 because finding good partners and sponsors in this age was essential for my economic career and all what I had to base on it (travelling, family, wealth building etc.)

Answer 9

When your collected externally, internal values fall apart leave you confused and you begin to question yourself...It would happen at any age, mostly in the middle of life. I suspect, that mid age crisis designed as a trigger of it. Being young you cannot avoid to explore common beliefs about love, marriage, sex,business, life style and many more. Some of it you are skipping , some you exploring as you think , "differently"..Still you exploring beliefs not of your own..That is how you collect and store internal values which directing your life..In time of questioning you'll have an option to drop it all , all of it, clean up all the dust, being uncompressed. And learn how to Value yourself most and for all, having a Faith to direct Life yourself for yourself, for you are a Value now. Not for others but for yourself..That is a challenge of challenge.

Answer 10

Critical life starts right after your marriage. Bcoz after marriage your own life would be almost finished. Your have to live for your wife, children and relatives. Most of the time u do the things that u don't want to do but just to please others.
My age is 51 Years

Answer 11

hello dear, to be sincere with u Ur question is very technical, but i will tell u that every single day of ones life is much more critical than the other.

this is because every single day is evil and we need to be very watchful as well as prayer to advert such where we are concern.i would have gone further to explain but i don't want to sound too religious to anyone that might be privilege to read this.
but it is the truth every single day is worst than the other, even the Holy Bible and Quran says that as well.

so to me there is no age or time but everyday, even on ones wedding day we all get scared for the fear of not having a successful wedding so tell me is that not meant to be the happiest of ones life.............. you see my point. each day is something else compare to the other.

AND ME I JUST CLOCK 21 ON THE 17TH OF JUNE.
