Problem: Article: Maturity includes making decisions based off of your values, ethics, and morals, instead of what feels good in the moment. While spur-of-the-moment decisions can be fun, weigh whether there are any long-term consequences. Allow your values to guide your life. Let your character master your desires.  Reflect on people you admire and what values they embody. If it’s an athlete, maybe you admire hard work, dedication, and pushing the body to the limits. If you admire a spiritual leader, you may admire the commitment to honesty and compassion. Reflecting on positive traits of others can help you discover your values. Whatever you choose, commit to it. Show people that you are willing to live out your values, even if it presents minor inconveniences to you. Maturity includes emotional development. Unfortunately, people (and especially teens) get feedback that tells them to ignore feelings or to devalue them. Some examples include holding back tears, apologizing for crying, or saying “I’m fine” when you are hurting inside. It’s healthy to express your feelings and to really feel them. We are wired to have feelings, and expressing them is a loving acknowledgment of the beauty and struggle of life.  Show maturity by articulating your feelings.  When feeling sad, take a moment to check in with your feelings. Reflect on what may be making you feel sad, such as a fight with a friend or parent, a low grade, a pet that has run away, or being away from a parent for a weekend. Instead of ignoring the feeling, feel it fully and recognize that it’s important to acknowledge all of your feelings, even when they are painful. When expressing your feelings, start by saying “I feel…” and avoid saying “You make me feel...” Notice the difference between “I feel sad” and “You make me feel sad.” One accuses someone and the other expresses the self. Expressing your feelings allows you to empower yourself. It’s not an opportunity to make accusations.  Once you've acknowledged your feelings, start working through them. For example, you can tell yourself, "It's not fun to feel sad, but I know that feelings don't last. I'll feel better soon and I'll find a way to work out what I'm feeling." You can also remind yourself that feelings aren't facts: for example, just because you feel "stupid" one day does not mean that you are. Be generous with yourself as you work through your feelings. It might be fun to feel like you have all the answers and you don’t need anyone’s input, but maturity includes being open to the knowledge and wisdom of others. It’s okay to admit you don’t know everything (nobody does!). People around you have wisdom that you may not, so seek out the wisdom of others before making big decisions. This shows that you are willing to learn from others.  When faced with an important decision, seek input from people you trust, like a teacher, coach, spiritual leader, parent, grandparent, aunt or uncle, best friend, or other trusted adult or friend. Remember that no one can make decisions for you. While others can be helpful (or not), your decisions are ultimately yours to make and nobody else’s. We all love that friend that is always supportive, never gossips, and we feel like we can tell anything to, even if it’s embarrassing. Being non-judgmental means having an attitude of acceptance, understanding, and acting authentically. Accept the people in your life as they are (including yourself!). Don’t demand changes. Don’t put yourself on moral higher ground, but show others that you can learn to accept everyone in your life through understanding. Nobody is higher or lower than you are. Learn to withhold your judgments and approach people through compassion.  Judgments are ways to create distance between yourself and someone else. Use empathy and “walk a mile in her shoes” and discover that regardless of how flawless someone’s life appears, she has problems that cause her pain, too. Gossip is one way to spread judgment about someone. Be careful what you say when you talk about people. If someone starts to gossip, you can say, “That sounds like gossip, and I’d rather not hurt anyone’s feelings. I’d rather talk about cats.” When you were younger, your schedule was made for you: you went to school or sports or dance. Now, you may have more ability to make your own schedule. When you say you will do something, do it. Even if it isn’t your idea of fun, show people that they can count on you and that you are reliable. When you tell someone “yes”, honor your commitment. Show people that you can be trusted.
Summary: Live by your values. Honor your feelings. Be teachable. Maintain a non-judgmental attitude. Keep your commitments.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: If you don't have a skill or circular saw, a jig, or a workspace that will make cutting your wood and sheet metal easy, an easy way of getting your materials cut is to have them processed wherever you buy them. Most hardware supply stores will cut your materials for free if you supply them with the dimensions. Double-check your measurements, clamp your wood down to a workbench, and measure two points at the top and bottom of the panel to ensure a straight line. Place a template or jig across the line to ensure a straight cut. Clamp the jig down to the workbench and move your circular saw across the wood slowly. If you're cutting from two smaller pieces of plywood or MDF and those pieces are identical, stack them on top of each other so that you only have to make one cut to produce both side panels. Again, add 2 to 3 inches (5 to 7 cm) of extra room for clearance. Clamp your template or jig down and measure a top and a bottom point to ensure a straight line. Start the saw and move it over the panel slowly to produce an even cut of wood. Using the same technique, plan on cutting the top ½ inch (1cm) wider than the sides and 1 (2.5cm) inch longer than the width of the front. This will give the top an elegant differentiation. Depending on how large your radiator is, draw straight lines that are between 3 to 5 inches (7.5 to 12.5 cm) away from the sides and top, and slightly more (4 to 6 inches) from the bottom. This will make the screen grating the centerpiece of the front panel. If you wish to have grated openings on the side panels as well as the front panel, follow the exact same procedure. Because the rectangle you want to cut out of the front panel is in the middle of the panel, you'll need to use this trick to preserve the outer framing. Place down your template to guide your circular saw along the straight line. Position the saw onto the template, with the saw's blade elevated in the air. Pull the guide up from the circular saw, turn the saw on, and slowly plunge the saw into the panel, making sure to leave a little bit of space on the corners. Slowly pull the circular saw along the line until you're about 1 (2.5cm) inch from the perpendicular line. Do the exact same for the side panels if you choose to fit them with grating. Use a handsaw to extend each cut until it hits the corner. This will remove the center piece from the front panel. Cut two 45° inside miters in each piece of molding, so that the four pieces will form a mitered rectangle (reminiscent of a picture frame) when fitted into the front panel.
Summary:
Consider cutting the panels of your cover at the hardware supply store. Start cutting the two side panels. Cut the front panel. Cut the top. Decide how large you want your grate opening to be on the front panel. Cut the rectangle from the middle of the front panel using a plunge cut. Finish off the corners using a simple handsaw. Measure the rectangle in the front panel and cut your cove molding to fit in all four sides.
