“Maturity is the ability to reap without apology and not complain when things don't go well”
— Jim Rohn

Simplified Meaning:
Maturity means handling success and failure without making excuses or whining. Imagine a student who studies hard for a test. If they do well, they accept the good grade happily without bragging. If they don't do well, they don't blame others or come up with excuses; they just understand that they need to study differently next time. In adult life, it’s similar – say you start a small business. If it succeeds, you enjoy the benefits without being arrogant. If it fails, you don’t blame the customers or the economy; instead, you learn from the experience and try again. Being mature means taking responsibility for your actions, both good and bad, and always looking for ways to improve without holding grudges or feeling sorry for yourself.
