Growth

19-25 is when you as a person are in the best mental state to accommodate to changes, to accept criticism, to learn and to evolve. Your mind is flexible. You’re willing to adapt yourself and take away things from the new experiences, new ideas, new people and new thoughts that come your way. 

25-30 is when you start to get rigid because you’re beginning to mould into a somebody. You start getting imperceptive to changes because your thought process is now guided by the experiences you’ve had instead of only the new things you see or hear. 

The people you choose to be with in the first phase is very important. Be it your loved ones or your enemies, they’re all important in their own way. They are the people who will leave a mark in your personality and provide a base for the qualities you’re going to have for the rest of your life.
