The signs of maturity 成熟的标志

You listen more and talk less

多听少说

When we realize as human beings we are built to hear more (because we have two ears) and speak less (we have one mouth/tongue); we gain more information and whatever we speak will be based on substantial reasoning.

当我们意识到作为人，我们需要多听(因为有两个耳朵)少说(只有一张嘴/一根舌头)，我们就能获得更多的信息，说出的话也能基于靠谱的推断，这会让听众觉得这个人很有思想和逻辑性。

This will provide a glimpse of a thinking individual/rational person to the audience. Thus you shall be perceived more seriously, and in turn this will add to your confidence.

这样你就会被认为是个更靠谱正经的人，同时还能增加自己的自信。

It is the first sign of you becoming a more matured individual than what you were before.

这可以当成是你和以前相比变得成熟的第一个标志。
