The difference between boy and

A boy gives into his feelings validates them, and finds a way to get out of responsibility. In order to have the situation cater to his weakness, or his feelings or his whim. A man takes his emotions, understands what they are, puts them in check, where they need to be. And then sees the mission that he has to accomplish, the things that he needs to do, and devises a plan for accomplishing that. - Father Moses.
