When you were very young you might like to play tic-tac-toe, and now you don’t. Why?
Because your perception has changed.

Now apply this to anything you do and this determines where you are in personal growth.

When you have a family you find you really like playing tic-tac-toe w/ you son or daughter. Why? You already know how to play? Because your sharing your time showing them something fun (to them) makes you happy as a parent. You’re connecting to them and not so much as who wins.

Later in life you see your children playing the game w/ their children and see their connection to each other and just having a good time w/ each other. You see where they are.

This is why I say; it’s where you are as a person. Some people stop changing and learning as people. Some people grow every day, no matter the age.

This is how I view it, good luck on the essay and I hope this helps.
