This quote is one that is so often repeated and yet I’ve never really understood what it means. The first person I’ve heard the quote from was an author. He was talking to a group of people in a hotel room. He said, “there’s one thing that can make you a man: what you believe.
Thats exactly what the author of this book is talking about. For a long time Ive spent my life searching for what makes me a man. Ive had the same problem that most guys have. Ive been told Ive got to be this or that. Ive been told Ive got to be this witty or this charismatic. Ive been told that Ive got to be this good looking or this pretty.
You know what I mean. So when Ive been told that Ive got to be someone who is a certain way, I just know that Ive been told I dont have it in me. Ive been told that I ve got to be someone who is “tough”. Ive been told Ive got to be someone who is “stubborn”. Ive been told Ive got to be someone who is “relentless”.
Ive been told Ive got to be someone who is all of these things, but because Ive been told I don’t have it in me, Ive been told I ve got to be someone who is weak. Ive been told Ive got to be someone who is not capable or smart.
I’ve been told a lot of times that I can’t be anything, that Ive got to be something else, but they can’t take that away from me. Because Ive been told, Ive been told, Ive been told Ive got to be someone else, but Ive been told Ive got to be someone who has a certain way about him.
The man you ve become is a guy who is told that he has to be a little different from everyone else. But he’s not. He’s a guy who is told he has to be a little bit of everything and be as smart as anyone else. It’s a difficult concept to grasp, so I’ve chosen to describe him as a guy who is “like me, but not like me.
So I guess it depends on your definition of “different”. I suppose a lot of us have that “different” concept of ourselves. I think we can all identify with at least one of those four things. But I think it is mostly a function of the person you are when you are first introduced to the concept of being different.
The biggest factor in being different is the different you. As a society, we create you. Whether we realize it or not, we are creating you, but not in the way we want you to be. In a sense, that’s what we’re doing to ourselves, creating the person we want you to be. But we’re not being honest with you.
The fact that many people don’t know or understand what are “different” people has become an issue in society today. One of the most common things people do is to point to someone who they think is different and say, “She’s a black woman, I’m the white man, and this is why she’s different.” That’s a great way of telling a person, “You are not really different from anyone else.
We dont understand the word were. We dont understand why we are different. We dont understand why we arent the same as everyone else. Were not being honest with you because we think this is a good way of telling you to accept us as you are. We are not your friends.
