Who are you?
Filed Under (Words of Wisdom) by Adam on 26-03-2007
I was watching a movie the other night called Secondhand Lions . One of the scenes made me sit and think about life. In the scene the 2 brothers and the nephew are sitting at an old diner. They are eating their meal when a group of rowdy young teenagers come in. One of the boys goes to reach for Hubs food and he brushes the teenagers hand away. The boy then says
“Hey, who do you think you are, huh?”
Hub then grabs the boy by the throat and says
“I’m Hub McCann. I’ve fought in two World Wars and countless smaller ones on three continents. I led thousands of men into battle with everything from horses and swords to artillery and tanks. I’ve seen the headwaters of the Nile, and tribes of natives no white man had ever seen before. I’ve won and lost a dozen fortunes, KILLED MANY MEN and loved only one woman with a passion a FLEA like you could never begin to understand. That’s who I am. NOW, GO HOME, BOY!”
That quote made me think “Who am I”
Here is what I have come up with.
