5 Differences Between a Boy and a Man

5 Differences Between a Boy and a Man

1. A Boy will find a Job.

    A Man will find a Career.

2. A Boy will disrespect his parents. (Because he feels like he has something to "prove")

    A Man will Honor his Parents and value the time he has with them while they're still living. 

3. A Boy doesn't realize the damage his words and actions can cause, and doesn't care.

    A Man chooses his words wisely and makes good decisions. (Has good judgement)

4. A Boy will let anyone make wise-cracks about his loved ones: family, friends, etc. 

    A Man will not allow anyone to bad talk those he loves in front of him. (Even if he has to leave the room, etc.)

5. A Boy will Lie - to anyone (family, friends. Girlfriend/Spouse, etc.) Usually because he simply doesn't have the Courage it takes to be Honest. 

    A Man knows that Honesty is the best Policy. He will always be Honest even if there are consequences. 

These are only a few of the tell-tale signs between Boys and Men. Pay attention to the male's behavior and attitude, you will know within a week (or less) which one you have; a Boy or a Man. 

I've been around since 1939, and the old saying is (if you plan on marrying a man):

"Watch the way a man treats his Mother, because that is the same way he will treat you one day" 

And of all my years on this Earth, I've known this to be true. 

Actions Speak Louder Than Words

A person's actions will tell you everything you need to know about them. The way a person treats you says nothing about you, but it says a lot about them. Words mean nothing anymore.

You can say anything you want, but that doesn't make it true. You can say "I love you" (to anyone) a thousand times, but your actions is what will tell if you really love someone or not. This applies to any and all types of relationships and friendships.

 Everyone has heard the saying "Actions Speak Louder Than Words." If a person really loved you, they would never make you cry, never lie to you and never intentionally break your heart.

 And when you treat a person badly for so long, don't expect them to keep hanging on. Do not be surprised when they are no longer there. A person can only hang on for so long, no matter if you were once the center their world, their life will go on.

What Happened to Respect?

Teaching Respect Starts At Home

Things are so different now than they were in my day. 

In my day, if you were disrespectful to an adult, you either got your mouth slapped or a whipping when you got home. 

However, I see so many disrespectful young ones now days, more teen-agers more than anything. 

Parents Please - Teaching your children to be respectful starts at HOME -- And you start teaching them at a young age.

You do not wait and expect the school or church to teach your child how to be respectful of/to others. Teaching them respect is part of being a Parent. 

They carry that disrespect (and bad attitude) with them everywhere they go: to school, church, family's and/or friends homes. And when they are older, they carry it to work and anywhere else they go. 

Usually those that are disrespectful - are selfish individuals as well. They do believe the world revolves around them. (Little do they know how wrong they are.)

Forgiveness Takes Strength

Someone who cannot apologize when they know they were in the wrong, has Problems.

And someone who will not accept another persons apologizes or attempts of making things up to them, is a Weak Person

And a person who cannot forget the past, but must dwell on it, discuss it regularly, hold grudges, is a Miserable Person. 

And everyone knows Misery loves company - so they will attempt to pull as many people into the conflict as possible. 

Those people who choose to be weak and miserable - there is nothing you can do about it. 

Some people are just pure evil and it would please them to see you beg and grovel. (Even knowing they aren't going to forgive you anyway, they just love the attention.)

Do not give in to these kind of selfish attention-seekers. 

If your attempts of apologizing and/or trying to make up doesn't work - then drop it. 

You (and others) will know that you were the strong one, and they were the weak one. 

The Types of Liars

You have 2 different kind of Liars.

1) The "Little white Liars" as most people call them. (No, honey, your butt doesn't look big in those jeans.)

And you have the worse - the Habitual Liars.

Habitual Liars have perfected their skills at lying so well that they never give off any of the tell-tale signs of an inexperienced Liar.

They can look you straight in the eye and tell you a lie without blinking, without flinching, without nervousness or anything.

These are the kind to really watch out for. Especially if you are close to one. (sibling, child, spouse)

They will repeat a lie so many times, that even though you knew it was not so to begin with, they will continue to harp on it until they have you believing them. (They basically brainwash you) They will turn you against anyone who sees their true colors, also.

If you are personally close to this person, you cannot see it. But others (outsiders, ones not "close" to them) can see it from miles away.

It takes a really strong person to open up their eyes and see the truth. Learn to stand your ground. (For your own dignity if nothing else) Do not allow them to brainwash you with the non-stop continuous lies when you know it doesn't sound right. (Usually your gut instinct should tell you this.)
