About This Quote
I wish that I had been born a man, then I wouldn't be the boy that I am. This quote from a movie called “Boyz In The Hood” is a great example of the differences between men and boys. Boys are more likely to get into trouble and get into a lot of trouble. They don't have a strong sense of self-control and their emotions run high.
Men, on the other hand, have a more balanced view of themselves and their situation in life. They have a stronger sense of self-confidence and they are not so quick to get angry or upset. Men are more likely to get into trouble, but they get out of it quicker than boys do.
