Growing up never means that you have a tall stature, matured countenance and developed physical characteristics but it indeed means growing up in terms of the values and greatness you hold in yourself. Former Indian president sir. APJ Abdul Kalam once said, "I am not a handsome guy but I can give my hand to some who need it" and what late sir APJ Abdul Kalam said lucidly expounds the ostensible meaning behind the great aphorism from the greatest of all saint Kabir.
Growing up truly means being able to take the responsibility and do mature works rather than just growing up in age. A small child who is able to comprehend other's pains and sorrows is much better than a big boy who is an egoist, a wonderful toddler with no speck of pride and benevolent conduct is much more preferable to a grown up boy who is by heart an egotist. Nature too elaborates this fact in a very beautiful way. Lets take the example of a date palm tree. Despite of being the tallest tree with the biggest trunk length, with enormous height its the tallest tree you would even encounter normally, but what is the significance of such a great height when it can neither allocate a refuge of shadow to any board neither the human beings can normally eat its fruit because of not being in the normal reach. Though the date palm tree has grown up a lot and attained so much maturity but still its not useful to us directly. In fact, a smaller tree would be much more preferable to such unreachable tree, just like that, a person of no moral values and manners is truly worthless in the world's eye. If you have grown up but have not been endowed with a good attitude towards others, you would be just a date palm for others because no matter how much grown you are, no matter how much money you acquire, if you are of no worth to the society, to the people, if you can't bestow on them happiness and compassion, you are truly worthless.
Its good to be great at the work you do but its much more quintessential to be veracious by heart.
