    A mature person isn't defined by age as much by action and the way he/she handles life's challenges.

    A mature person listens well and doesn't try to fix all your problems.
    A mature person knows there is more than one answer to most questions.
    A mature person knows he/she doesn't have all the answers.
    A mature person takes care of his obligations and does his/her best not to promise more than he/she can deliver.
    A mature person doesn't go chasing after materialistic things and youth but mostly takes the vagaries of age and life in stride.
    A mature person knows that life has it's ups and downs and accepts this and knows that life isn't always about chasing down fun.
    A mature person is creative in his/her way to handle challenges in life and has learned to accept people mostly for who they are instead of trying to change things.
    A mature person doesn't run from challenges.

    Wrinkles and sagging bits. Your hair-line receeds and you start growing hair out your ears and nostrils. On the positive side, you know everything.

    I depends on what form of the word you are meaning.

    Maturity could be age, but no matter how old you are, emotional intelligence I believe, would have to be a good sign.

    As for me... I am somewhat mature in age, yet my personality and nature of my humor would suggest otherwise at times. I choose not to let the age interfere with staying young forever.
