Immature vs. Mature
Immature vs. Mature
"The mark of the immature man is that he wants to die nobly for a cause, while the mark of a mature man is that he wants to live humbly for one." This is a quote was said by a psychoanalyst named Wilhelm Stekel. The quote basically means that an immature man wants to be seen as a hero, even if it means dying, whereas a mature man is happy to live and work for a cause, even if it means not being seen as a hero. I agree with this quote a hundred percent because usually people that accept their role in a job or society are the mature ones; they stand their ground and accept who they are. This quote applies to mostly everything in life.
This quote was used in the novel The Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger, Mr. Antolini used it when he was telling Holden to do something with his life or he won’t enjoy it. This quote applies to this novel since Holden is always thinking about being a hero; an example of this would be when he was talking about being a catcher in the rye, “I'd just be the catcher in the rye and all. I know it's crazy, but that's the only thing I'd really like to be. I know it's crazy.” He keeps thinking about saving other children from growing up to be adults, that is very immature because he should know by now that you can’t stop anybody from being an adult, you’re going to grow up at some point. If he could stop imagining about forever being a heroin the rye, be mature, and focus on school, he will have a good life. Mr. Antolini points out that being the mature person will get you a long way in life.
This quote could also apply to basketball, immature basketball players don’t accept their role if they are not the star player and want to take hero shots all the time. But mature basketball players accept their role as a supporting player and work hard to help their team win, even if it means they won’t get as much praise. The immature players usually end up hurting the team and eventually themselves after they get cut. But as
