The signs of maturity 成熟的标志

You are less argumentative and more accommodating

你不再那么好辩

There are times when you think you are right in an argument but by winning an argument you may lose a friend.

有时你会觉得自己在辩论中是正确的,但如果赢得了辩论可能会失去朋友。

So, it may be advisable to refrain from arguing too much at these times. 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.

所以最聪明的做法莫过于在此刻避免过多的争论。更多时候,如果不是什么大事,那个有自己观点的人也许会了解你的想法,或者你也可能更好的了解ta的立场。

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.

所以,别人不赞同你,并不代表ta就是错的。少辩论,也给别人提供了必须的空间和威望,同时你也能给自己争取更多时间来从别的角度审视别人的观点。

And additionally, you command more respect from others. This shows you are now a matured individual.

除此之外,你还能从他人身上获得更多的尊重。这也能表明你变得更加成熟了。
