Summary

This quote suggests that true maturity lies in reconnecting with the sense of seriousness and commitment that one had during childhood play. It implies that as we grow older, we often lose touch with the excitement, focus, and dedication we once had for activities. The quote encourages individuals to rediscover this childlike seriousness to approach life with curiosity, enthusiasm, and a whole-hearted dedication to whatever they are doing, regardless of its perceived importance. By tapping into the playfulness and earnestness of our youth, we can cultivate a deeper level of maturity and fulfillment in our adult lives.

In my early life, and probably even today, it is not sufficiently understood that a child's education should include at least a rudimentary grasp of religion, sex, and money. Without a basic knowledge of these three primary facts in a normal human being's life --subjects which stir the emotions, create events and opportunities, and if they do not wholly decide must greatly influence an individual's personality --no human being's education can have a safe foundation.

Being contented ought to mean in English, as it does in French, being pleased. Being content with an attic ought not to mean being unable to move from it and resigned to living in it; it ought to mean appreciating all there is in such a position.
