“Maturity does not come with age but with the acceptance of responsibility.”
[Edwin Louis Cole]
When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I grew up, I put childish ways behind me."
[The Apostle Paul – 1 Cor.13:11. NLT]
Hi Mark
I absolutely agree with you on this. Two men who I admire because they are wonderful examples of this definition of maturity are my husband and also Mr. Howard. Firstly my husband because I know that when ever he makes a mistake he is willing to accept the blame and take responsibility. Secondly Mr. Howard, as he always takes responsibility for mistakes in his government and even demonstrated this on Sunday night in the debate.
I can see by their actions that both of these men genuinely care about people who are under them and don’t care for their own personal gain or power. They admit their mistakes with humility and are willing to accept responsibility for the greater good.
