There comes a time when a boy transforms into a man. It usually happens when you’re in you’re in your mid-twenties, or sometimes a bit later. When you become a man, you have to make decisions about your life and people around you. You have to deal with the responsibilities that come with the decisions that you make. It’s a time when you have to fully understand the difference between WANTS and NEEDS and your DREAMS.
Understanding that everything you want in life will affect everything you need to do. Wanting more out of life than just a job. Wanting to change the world with every little power you have. Needing to leave a legacy for the next generation to conquer. Understanding the difference between riches and wealth.
Dreaming about love, and loving your dreams. Knowing that having dreams means work. Fighting love, making love, hating love and trying to make sense of it. Admitting that you are wrong in an argument and being willing to learn new ways of solving the problem. Being brave enough to stand alone and not care about what society thinks of your decision. Not waiting for change from the world, but being the change that you want the world to be. Self-preservation; making time to spend time with yourself and not being afraid of what you might discover. Knowing your flaws and embracing them. Making peace with your alter-ego and your dark side - understanding that they are there for a reason: not to kill you, but to help you adapt to different environments at any given time.
I think I have briefly described the modern man.
