The Difference between a Boy and a Man




A boy often thinks he is a man – a man realizes how childish he can be.

A boy always tries to prove he is right – a man knows how imperfect he is and is willing to admit it.

A boy seeks excitement – a man is always excited with a moment of peace.

A boy expresses himself – a man helps others to express themselves.

A boy is content when he is fulfilled – a man is fulfilled when he is content.

A boy has big dreams – a man has patient plans.

A boy cries when he is hurt – a man cries when others are hurt.

A boy is eager to be known – a man is eager to know.

A boy finds happiness in what he is doing – a man finds joy in what he is being.

A boy’s next week is a long wait away – a man’s next week is suddenly upon him.

A boy sees the importance of the future – a man sees the importance of today that will affect his future.

Thank God for the men in your life - especially the Fathers.
