When do you become a man? When you become your own man. When other men trust you to do a man's work. Trust you with their name, their reputation, their thoughts. Trust you to watch their backs and trust you with their lives.

If monkey became a man, then a man can become a hero.

You become a man when, in having children, you not only physically look after and protect them but also protect them with all the love and learning you have to give.
