成熟
Maturity
Your lordship, though not clean past your youth, have yet some smack of age in you, some relish of the saltiness of time.

You know your children are growing up when they stop asking you where they came from and refuse to tell you where they're going.

One of the signs of passing youth is the birth of a sense of fellowship with other human beings as we take our place among them.
青春逝去的一个标志是，当我们在他人中间找到自己的位置时，与他们产生了一种亲密感。
The trick is in what one emphasizes. We either make ourselves miserable, or we make ourselves happy. The amount of work is the same.

Maturity - among other things, the unclouded happiness of the child at play, who takes it for granted that he is at one with his play-mates.

Throughout the whole vegetable, sensible, and rational world, whatever makes progress towards maturity, as soon as it has passed that point, begins to verge towards decay.

Maturity is the ability to think, speak and act your feelings within the bounds of dignity. The measure of your maturity is how spiritual you become during the midst of your frustrations.
成熟是在尊严的范围内思考、表达和行动感情的能力。衡量你成熟的标准是你在挫折中变得多么有灵性。
Infantile love follows the principle: "I love because I am loved." Mature love follows the principle: "I am loved because I love." Immature love says: "I love you because I need you." Mature love says: "I need you because I love you."

I navigate through the world with the excitement and determination of a child. That's why I'm an artist. I'd die without an outlet for expression. Unfortunately, more often than not, that childlike energy is the maturity level I bring to many circumstances.
我带着孩子的兴奋和决心在世界上航行。这就是为什么我是一个艺术家。如果没有表达的出口，我就会死去。不幸的是，在很多情况下，孩子般的活力正是我带给他们的成熟。
KEEP EXPLORING
