什么时候才能像高年级的同学有张成熟与长大的脸，盼望着假期，盼望着明天，盼望长大的童年……如今当梦想照进了现实，脸真的长大了，但人依然是萌萌哒，心里还是乱乱的……如此怀疑自己长不大，甚至开始逆生长的小伙伴们，表担心啦！以下10个长大成熟的迹象，你有木有？但凡打开本文的小伙伴，世纪君相信你至少要占其中1条。不信你就往下看吧！

1. 开始少说话多倾听了。

You listen more and talk less.



人生中总有那么一段说话不过脑子、别人讲话你拼命插嘴的阶段。当这段激（xiao）情（zhang）岁月过去后，整个人就好了。因为你会发现，听的越多，思考的也就越多，学会倾听的你离成熟已经不远了。

When we realize as human beings we are built to hear more (because we have two ears) and speak less (we have one mouth/tongue); we gain more information and whatever we speak will be based on substantial reasoning. This will provide a glimpse of a thinking individual to the audience. Thus you shall be perceived more seriously, and in turn this will add to your confidence.

2. 不再害怕承担责任了。

You do not shy away from responsibilities.



那个时不时吐槽压力山大、见到责任就想闪的你，已经一去不复返了。作为地球上的人类，你开始发现自己扮演着多种角色，并且勇敢地承担着相应的职责。

As individuals we play a variety of roles in our societal set up. Be it for our family, our community, our friends, our country or for the human race in general. Additionally, we, being the highly successful species on Earth, should also be responsible for other species of this planet, as well as for sustaining the planet for future life forms. When you think in these terms, you behave in a more responsible manner.

3. 与别人意见相左时，更加理智淡定了。

You are less argumentative and more accommodating.



学会站在别人的立场上看问题，说明你已经成熟了。毕竟，观点不同并不能代表人家就有错。能争善辩，倒不如淡定随和。

Quite often, when things are normal, the other person with whom there was an argument may realize your point of view, or it is also possible you understand his/her perspective better. For, just because someone is not agreeing to you, does not mean he/she is wrong. By arguing less, you are providing the required space and prestige to others, and at the same time you are buying more time for yourself to look at the other’s argument from another angle.

4. 不再执着地偏好某个季节，而是顺其自然。

You enjoy each season.



春困秋乏夏打盹，睡不醒的冬三月。好像每个季节都有错。但成熟的人从不会纠结于季节的变换，因为他们知道纠结也无用，还是顺应自然，享受其中的乐趣吧！

Most of us have a likening for either summer or winter or spring or rains. That’s fine. But there is no need to get irritated whenever your favorite season has been replaced by another one. There is a cycle of seasons and life forms adapt to that. No one can control seasonal cycles and no one should control them. So if you are enjoying changes in season, however abrupt they might seem, you have grown into a matured individual.

5. 即使生活总是让你措手不及，也始终面带微笑。

You wear a smile on your face.



计划总是赶不上变化，出人意料的事情时有发生。遭遇变化依然面带微笑的人，浑身上下都充满了正能量啊！

Life is a topsy-turvy event. It doesn’t matter how hard scientists/researchers try to predict it, it remains unpredictable. You plan for today in the morning, and by the afternoon you have to modify it to accommodate something unplanned. Whatever the situation may be, wearing a smile has a positive impact on your body and mind. So, if you are being found mostly with a smile, you should consider this as a sign of getting matured.

6. 变得更喜欢小朋友了，也愿意跟奶奶辈们交流。

You love children and elders.



总和同龄人混在一起的小伙伴们，有木有想过扩展一下自己的朋友圈呢？愿意花点儿时间跟小孩子，还有爷爷奶奶多多交流，说明你已经长大啦！因为有了忘年交，你的世界真的开始有大变化了。

Most of us like to hangout with friends. Most of these friends are of the same age group. However, if you like to spend time with children and older people, you should consider yourself a mature individual. Quite often, spending time with people who are not in your age bracket helps you visualize life in an entirely different manner. These moments, later on, shall be counted in your experiences.

7. 关于钱：存的多，花的少。

You save more than what you expend.



这条就不多说了，长大后的你都懂的~

This one does not need any detail explanation. Saving more than the expenditures will itself lend credibility to your maturity status.

8. 开始享受读书的乐趣。

You indulge more in reading.



在这个知识和信息大爆炸的时代里，要想让自己不被社会抛弃，读书是条好路子。愿意花时间阅读的人，是在意自己未来的人，这一点说明你已经长大了。

To be updated is of utmost priority in today’s knowledge-driven society. And probably one of the best ways to get informed is to read. If you are spending more time reading, this indicates you are serious about your business which is a sign of maturity.

9. 开始懂得要对自己好一点。

You take care of yourself as well as others.



此处绝没有教人自恋的意思。成熟的人不仅关心他人，更会爱护自己，审视内心，不断地提高自己。

In the run of life, you may give less importance to yourself relative to your family members. However, you must realize you are no less significant. Therefore, you must take out time for yourself, and take care of your body and mind. This will, in turn lead to better performance in your duties which will render you as a responsible and matured person.

10. 你开始寻找成熟的迹象。

You seek the signs of maturity.



其实，点开这篇文章就已经说明你开始认真思考长大这件事儿了。你希望承担应有的责任，了解自己存在的意义。这就足以说明你的内心正在成长了。加油吧，少年！
