Grow up (1 minute read)

Who would say this! To a child, to a young adult, a middle-aged person or to a senior. Generally, we associate growing-up with children, but the matter of fact is that our growth ideally should never stop. Every day we must grow as a person and become a better version of yesterday.

Distinctly, I see many promising kids who do not grow-up into equally promising adults, or very charming young adults who do not grow-up to be mature and wise people, or very successful adults who do not grow up to be gracious seniors with greys. In other words, somewhere they lose their way. Their promise, their charm, their wisdom fades away, and they become just a poor shadow of their past. Why does this happen? This happens because we stop growing as individuals. We stop growing because we stop learning. And we stop learning because we stop self-introspecting. We stop making good use of our senses and hence stop picking up the right stimuli.

Ignorance or arrogance or both, they make us blind. Afterall just having eyes is not enough, vision is more important. So, remember friends, it is never too late to grow up.
