What does it mean to be a man? Does it mean you're way too serious, are all grown up, and have ditched your sweats and gym shoes for cardigan sweaters and loafers? Does being a man mean you're tough and have no tears, no emotions? Or does being a man mean taking responsibility for your life, learning from your mistakes and the mistakes of others, and creating priorities, goals, and expectations?
