    43 things I've learned. A response to the news that men mature at 43

    Reading the item linked to below. Spotted this nugget:

    "Retired sportsmen don’t always make good commentators
    In fact they’re often the worst."

    "Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain’t all sunshine and rainbows. It’s a very mean and nasty place and I don’t care how tough you are it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain’t about how hard ya hit. It’s about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward. How much you can take and keep moving forward. That’s how winning is done! Now if you know what you’re worth then go out and get what you’re worth. But ya gotta be willing to take the hits, and not pointing fingers saying you ain’t where you wanna be because of him, or her, or anybody! Cowards do that and that ain’t you! You’re better than that!" - Rocky Balboa

    Ok, I'm assuming 43 is the average age for men to become mature as I know some people who are way too mature and they are not even 30 yet.....plus, I'm 46 and I'm not even close yet! Check this with my wife and she will whole heartedly agree!
