Maturity means, too, an ability to take criticism and evaluate it. When it is not of value, when it is not constructive, but destructive, one can forget it. But when it is constructive one must accept it and try to profit, even though hurt by it.

But, if you are mature enough, you will accept the criticism of those you love and who love you and learn from it.
