• A medida que maduremos, aprenderemos a dominar la interacción entre el pasado y el presente y no seremos tan conscientes de nuestro rechazo o aceptación de la tradición.

Those who self-medicate...often thwart maturity as they escape the tough seasons of life rather than face them.

• The willingness to forgive is a sign of spiritual and emotional maturity. It is one of the great virtues to which we all should aspire.

Is there any problem that could not be solved among people who possessed the humility and largeness of spirit and soul to do either -- or both -- when needed?

• Many people think in terms of either/or: either you're nice or you're tough. Win-win requires that you be both. It is a balancing act between courage and consideration. To go for win-win, you not only have to be empathic, but you also have to be confident. You not only have to be considerate and sensitive, you also have to be brave. To do that-to achieve that balance between courage and consideration-is the essence of real maturity and is fundamental to win-win.
