Are the most important things in our life what we learned from 16- 25 or can we be more affected by ...?

Question

what we learn later?

Answer 1

I think the earlier experiences affect us for the rest of our lives, it's how we find who we are, what we have inside of us, how stubborn we are, and what makes us mad, etc. My age range would be from the time you are born till 18, although we never stop learning, but part of us NEVER changes, and that part of us, is who we really are.

Answer 2

Many experiences a person goes through in high school and college introduce them to the stresses and strains of society.  The idea is to help them grow into adults with mature emotional systems.  This isn't always successful, and I've found how we react to what life hands out is far more important after school than during it.

Answer 3

hopefully, you're always learning. however, i think we don't always understand completely what we learned until we get older.

Answer 4

I think that what we learn in our adolescent years is very important. During that period of time we are searching for the pieces of the puzzle of our identity. Every mistake we make, every pat on the back, every disappointment, and every laugh that we experience during that time are used in our brain like a filter in later years. We always refer back to those lessons sometimes purposely and sometimes subconsciously.

I, however, do not believe that what we learn at one point in our life is more important than others but timing does effect how we react and analyze the outcomes. All lessons that we learn in this life are valuable.
