Hi, there.When a baby is born, he can't do anything except cry and eat. As he is growing, he can smile, speak and do some other things. And with time going by, he is growing into a child, a teenager, a youth and an old person at last. In the process of growing, people become smarter,more mature and wiser. they learn to deal with difficult situations easily. I used to get angry easily. I became angry immediately i saw something wrong. Now i realized it is not good.Not only is geting angry harmful to myself but to others.When meeting with something unusual i often tell myself to be calm . so i become tolerate, i learn to think of a better way to handle it .Mylotters, what have you learned as you're aging?

That your mind and your spirit don't exactly age at the same speed as your body. It took me 30 something years to actually become an adult in my thinking and my actions.

Yes. their speeds are different. But if one sees to what he does everyday and thinks of it or draws some lesson from it, he will be growing in mind. If one doesn't think he will never change even if he is very old.

for my existence here on earth. I learned that life is really so much wonderful and beautiful. No matter the situation either its ups or down. It's just that I love the life more and more and I'm very thankful that i see different faces of humans and its struggle in life. Its amazed me and gives me motivation or some encouragement to live this cynical world of ours. Whatever I do and based from the result/experienced its challenge me to the point that I have to surrender or give up but someone give me strength to face its obstacles.And it was really God who keeps me motivated and gaining insights throughout the years. Life for me is so short and it really affects me as a whole person. I just continue on what I do and what makes me happy is the most important of my life.

Yeah. Life is so short that we can't afford to abuse it. We should take good care of it. In fact ,in a way one is alive not only for himself but also for his family. the most important lesson for one is how to deal with stress and other bad things in order to have a high quality life.

ya very true, as we get older the more we get to know the different traits of the people, and the more selective we are in making our friends, and there are some people who really dnt come up with our expectations that make us more angry

I doubt I learned anything, I know I always have to be alert since no matter what I do people love to abuse me and it still (though way less frequently) I meet those kind of people who do try it again. I think I am still the same, also still strugling to find some quality time for me. Am already happy with 10 min for me. I realized this morning I am getting older, less has changed, which doesnt mean I did nothing in my life but in the end it's all back to the same again, even if this is after years.

Hi. i quite agree with you. One should learn to control his or her temper, which is good to himself and others. i am happy that i am learning to be mature and wise. As a proverb says "Live and learn" i am ready to learn anythng to train myself physically and mentally.

Just like you, I learned to be calm. For being impulsive or hasty is not the solution. And violence is a crime. So be calm and be calm. I learned to be patient, too. Coz patience is a virtue. =
