The desired outcome that is given for all this learning is the ability to discern right from wrong . So maturity has to do with right and moral behavior. The first mark of maturity is character. Someone once defined character as the things we do when no one is watching. Character is tested by actions that are determined by our own values, not just to impress the crowd.
Character counts .
It may not seem to count at the moment, but in the long run it counts and it shows. It counts in our closest relationships as parents and children, husbands and wives, best friends, colleagues at work, and social friendships. When we lose trust in someone's character, we lose energy for our relationship. Character counts in business and in public life. The people we respect the most are the people we believe know the difference between right and wrong and who act accordingly.
