I'm learning more about Maturity right now in particular what I'm wondering about is how long it takes for maturity to kick in. I was researching this question online, and this blog post caught my attention because its true. My father talks about this all the time. "They refuse to blame other people or circumstances, and accept that they have made and will make mistakes. In order to live that way, they know they need to keep learning - especially from their mistakes - and put a high priority on wisdom. The wiser they get, the more more wisdom they want, and the more grateful they become for every source of wisdom, learning and knowledge. Children say, "Its not my fault."" The quote i chose here is basically saying That as time goes along eventually you take responsibility for your actions and you stop with baby foolishness like saying he did it and she did it. I think this is great because It makes me wonder wow this is easy because could do this and its easy if thats all you have to do

"Different from the refined and distilled vinegars usually found in supermarkets, Natural Apple Cider Vinegar is made from fresh, crushed, organically grown apples and allowed to mature in wooden barrels, which boosts its natural fermentation qualities. When mature, it contains a web-like substance, called "mother" that becomes visible when the rich brownish liquid is held to the light. The mother can be used to add to other vinegar to hasten maturity for more Apple Cider Vinegar."

I'm learning more about the multiple intelligences right now, and in particular what I'm wondering about is how did Howard Gardner come up with the multiple intelligences. I was researching this online, and this blog post caught my attention because it mentioned Howard Gardner and the multiple intelligences. The title also showed a preview of what the article is about. I read the blog post and didn't show what i want, however i did find this quote to be intriguing. "Howard Gardner has questioned the idea that intelligence is a single entity, that it results from a single factor, and that it can be measured simply via IQ tests. . . challenging also the cognitive development work of Piaget. Bringing forward evidence to show that at any one time a child may be at very different stages for example, in number development and spatial/visual maturation, Howard Gardner has successfully undermined the idea that knowledge at any one particular developmental stage hangs together in a structured whole. (infed.org/thinkers)" The quote i chose here is basically saying that Howard Gardner noticed that people learn differently through the study of basic children. I think this is informative because it makes me wonder how he figured this out without using really complex technology.

I am learning more about Skinner's ideas on freewill, which were the inspirations for my research. In this blog, I found a very interesting quote that is supposed to summarize Skinner's ideas. Although, I do not believe Skinner's ideas were so simple as to be summarized in one sentence, this quote does make an interesting observation from Skinner: "With every lawful relationship I can prove in animal or human behavior, I am showing that the behavior of living organisms obeys laws just as other disciplines in science describes their subjects in a lawful way." This quote is practically saying that people's behavior or actions are not decided by the decision of that individual but rather are made to "obey laws" which are set by mature. This statement does point to his observation that freewill is an allusion.

"This new Evolution X MR is not the Evo your next door neighbor got from his rich parents as a graduation present for private high school: it is more mature and the first signs of that are it's striking design. Spectators when driving by with the new Evo would shoot out: "Wow look at that grill!"
