Boys are students: Men are teachers
Boys are consumers: Men are producers
Boys play with toys: Men work with tools
Boys break things: Men make things
Boys ask questions: Men give answers
Boys are disruptive: Men bring order
Boys run in gangs: Men organize teams
Boys play house: Men build homes
Boys shack up: Men get married
Boys make babies: Men raise children
A boy won’t raise his own children: A man will raise his and somebody else’s
Boys invent excuses for failure: Men produce strategies for success
Boys look for somebody to take care of them: Men look for somebody to take care of
Boys are present-centered; Men are time-balanced, having knowledge of the past and understanding of the present and a vision for the future
Boys seek popularity: Men demand respect
Boys are up on the latest: Men are down with the GREATEST

I like these quotes, they're very true. My dad told me recently that he didn't really grow up and mature into a man until he was almost 30. I think for girls, the list would be entirely different.

"Boys are consumers, Men are producers"
This is true to an extent.. I mean after a while a boy has to decide that he wants to make his own living and take responsibility. But his parents have to let him. These days parents spoil their kids more than ever, but you have to give them more than resources, they need skills and be able to come up with their own tools to make an income.
