Well we had a little conversation about advise so I am going to go with what you in the form of seeing someone doing something and deciding if I did or did not want to act that way. This, I have a LOT of examples for. I will go with the easiest which is my mother, I saw how she rasied me or tried to. I saw they way she acted towards me, her "friends" and life in general. I realized right then and there that is not how I wanted to be whether there is a child involved or not. She is basically what not to do as a mother, so I have had a lot to learn from. And now I live with my aunt and she is how to be a mother both towards her own son and me.
Another example is that a dear friend of mine recently got serverly injured in a powder puff practice. One of my other friends and her were fighting but when she found out that this young lady was injured, she immediatley let it go and called her. I saw this as very admirable. But when I spoke to another friend, she did not care that this girl was hurt, she called her all these names and I was astonished. How could you say such things to someone who is "crimpled." Yet that first friend forgave everything because she was obviously the more mature one and knew that someone's health is way more important than some silly little high school feud. I was very impressed with how she showed her maturity in doing this. I was also very disappointed on how it showed this other girls immaturity.
So these are my two tales of how I learned from people (what to do and what not to do) and how to be mature (and the true colors of people).
