答案 When we are young, we have quite a selfish attitude towards life. Our priority is to seek personal happiness. We prefer to avoid activities we do not enjoy. As a result, our elders such as parents or teachers frequently resort to rewards or punitive measures to force us to assume responsibilities we would rather avoid. However, as we grow old, we learn that life is a lot more than pursuing personal happiness only. We realize that we have responsibilities not only towards ourselves but also towards other people as well as the greater society. This moment of realization is what marks the maturity of a person. We embrace the fact that we have different roles to play and each role may come with different sets of responsibilities. As an employee, we are responsible not only for ourselves but also have obligations towards fellow employees, the company, and external stakeholders such as the customers. As a parent, we have responsibilities towards our children. And as someone in an intimate relationship, we have responsibilities towards our significant half. Similarly, as a citizen, we have responsibilities towards fellow citizens as well as our country. A responsible and mature person is often less selfish and more considerate towards other people than his or her younger selves. The maturity is the natural outcome of years of life experiences that turn us into wiser beings. While maturity helps us make better quality decisions, it also complicates the decision-making process. As young individuals, our decision-making process is often impulsive and intuitive. However, as mature individuals, the decision-making process becomes deliberative because we consider the impact of our decisions on not only ourselves but also other people who may be affected by it. In conclusion, having a sense of responsibility marks the maturity of a person. With responsibility, a mature person is less selfish, wiser, and more considerate than his or her younger self. He or she may make the decisions slower as a mature person than as a young person but the decisions made as a mature person also tend to be of higher quality than those made as a young person.
