mentality comes from mental model. A drunk father has two twin sons, one becomes a successful person and the other is poor after 20 years. If a person thinks: I want to make myself happy, I take the main responsibility and my father is assisted, then he will think: Now my father is not as good as others, and I want to be as good as others, so I have to work harder. Such a mental model will make him the successful person. If a person thinks that his happiness is mainly provided by his father, but his father is not good, it is natural for me to live a bad life, and he should be at ease. Such a mental model will make him the poor.

The characteristics of mental maturity are: you have many mental modes, be familiar with the advantages and limitations of each mental mode, and switch skillfully with the environment. You will not be stuck from one perspective, nor will you look at problems in a biased manner. You will refer to each other and calibrate each other, so that you can become a mature mind and comprehensive person.
