Any person, if he wants to be a human being should possess a character.
To shape the character, first of all, he has to be matured as an individual.
[b]Maturity means a person has to attain perfection physically, mentally, emotionally and in other aspects of life, as well.[/b]
One cannot attain maturity in one or two days, it is a continuous process in life.
Physical growth cannot determine the maturity of an individual. It shows only physical maturity. One has to achieve maturity not only physically, but also mentally and in different ways, then only you can say that one has achieved perfect maturity in his personality or character.
Basically, a person has to achieve the following traits to attain perfect maturity:
Chronological: It depends upon how many birthdays you have celebrated.
Physical: When your body has proper and perfect growth, it is physical maturity.
Intellectual: It depends upon how logical and rational your thinking is. This is intellectual maturity.
Emotional: It depends on your feelings and emotions (anger, joy) how you express and release them.
Social: It deals about your social relationship, how correct and pleasant you are able to be with others.
Philosophical: Your philosophical ideals, beliefs, moral values, etc., come under this aspect.
When you achieve perfection in the above mentioned aspects, then only you become a complete man or a woman and can be designated as a matured person.
