Just a thought today.... Maturity is achieved when a person postpones immediate pleasures forlong-term values.
-- Joshua L. Liebman

I am always told that someone is not mature enough, and I always talk about it in regards to other people. I get told that as I get older, I will mature more. But I don't think it really has anything to do with a person's age. I have dated men who were older than me and had less maturity. And I am friends with some who are younger and are very mature. It is more of a person's experiences through life that determine how he acts with himself; reacts to the activities of the world around him. That is something we all look for in someone else...the maturity to compliment our own. Maybe it is because we all hope to learn more from everyone we know. Who knows....guess only through time will we truly see.

I think laughter may be a form of courage. As humans we sometimes stand tall and look into the sun and laugh, and I think we are never more brave than when we do that.
-- Linda Ellerbee (1944- ) American Journalist

  Random quotes In the depth of winter, I finally learned that within me there lay an invincible summer.
-- Albert Camus (1913-1960) French Writer

The higher type of man clings to virtue, the lower type of man clings to material comfort. The higher type of man cherishes justice, the lower type of man cherishes the hope of favors to be received.
-- Confucius (551-479 BC) Chinese Philosopher

If we are facing in the right direction, all we have to do is keep on walking.
-- Buddhist Proverb

If you have the courage to begin, you have the courage to succeed.
-- David Viscott


Everything just as it is, as it is, as is. Flowers in bloom. Nothing to add. Nothing to reduce. The entire world. Hiroshima. When people talk about war I vow with all beings to raise my voice in the chorus and speak of original peace.

Here is the scorecard:
(10-16 points) You are Garfield: You are very comfortable, easy going, and you definitely know how to have fun but sometimes you take it to an extreme. You always know what you are doing and you are always in control of your life. Others may not see things as you do, but that doesn't mean that you always have to do what is right. Try to remember your happy spirit may hurt you or others.

(17-23 points) You are Snoopy: You are fun; you are very cool and popular. You always know what's in and you never are out of style. You are good at knowing how to satisfy everyone else. You have probably disappeared for a few days more than once but you always come home with the family values that you learned. Being married and having children are important to you, but only after you have had your share of fun times.

(24-28 points) You are Elmo: You have lots of friends and you are also popular, always willing to give advice and help out a person in need. You are very optimistic and you always see the bright side of things. Some good advice: try not to be too much of a dreamer, if not you will have many conflicts with life.

(29-35 points) You are SpongeBob SquarePants: You are the classic person that everyone loves. You are the best friend that anyone could ever have and never want to lose. You never cause harm to anyone and they would never not understand your feelings. Life is a journey, it's funny and calm for the most part. Stay away from traitors and jealous people, then you will be stress free.

(36-43 points) You are Charlie Brown: You are tender, you fall in love quickly but you are also very serious about all relationships. You are a family person. You call your mom every Sunday. You have many friends and may occasionally forget a few Birthdays. Don't let your passion confuse you with reality.

(44-50 points) You are Dexter: You are smart and definitely a thinker. Every situation is fronted with a plan. You have a brilliant mind. You demonstrate very strong family principles. Maintain a stable routine but never ignore a bad situation when it comes.
