Living with John C. Maxwell books is interesting. He adds great values to the reader in addition to lot of experiences through many stories from personal life or history. One of these nice books is (SOMETIMES YOU WIN...SOMETIMES YOU LEARN) where he shares an important concept in life that is learning from losses.
The eleventh and last factor is (Maturity...The value of learning) and this factor is the reward for applying the previous ten factors which we talked about in the previous episodes.
Who is a mature person? the author indicate that maturity is not related with age, instead, a mature person is the one who learns from losses, gains wisdom and has strong and stable emotions and mentality in the face of life's problems.
What is the source of maturity? there are five sources as per the author. They are as follows:
1) Maturity is a result of finding a benefit in a loss.
Learning from losses is great; however, it will not mean a lot if we did not convert losses lesson into a benefit. This will happen when we take what we learnt and apply it to our future actions.
2) Maturity is a result of learning to feed the right feelings.
Taking actions with right feelings will lead to success whereas taking actions with wrong feelings will take to failure.
3) Maturity is a result of learning improving new habits.
One of the authors said: "The only difference between who succeed and failed is their habits differences".
4) Maturity is a result of learning to sacrifice today in order to success tomorrow.
If you want to improve maturity and gain learning value, you need to learn sacrificing somethings today to get more profits tomorrow.
5) Maturity is a result of learning to gain self and other's respect.
The important word here is trust.
Maturity needs efforts and learning from losses will be an important source for gaining this maturity.
