Me and that guy used to be bros. Now half the time we stare at each other with contempt.heard this the first week of boot camp years and years ago and it always stuck with me. hadn't read it in a while but I did today and thought I'd share it with sherbros
The Man In The Glass
Peter Dale Wimbrow Sr.
When you get what you want in your struggle for self
And the world makes you king for a day
Just go to the mirror and look at yourself
And see what that man has to say.
For it isn’t your father, or mother, or wife
Whose judgment upon you must pass
The fellow whose verdict counts most in your life
Is the one staring back from the glass.
He’s the fellow to please – never mind all the rest
For he’s with you, clear to the end
And you’ve passed your most difficult, dangerous test
If the man in the glass is your friend.
You may fool the whole world down the pathway of years
And get pats on the back as you pass
But your final reward will be heartache and tears
If you’ve cheated the man in the glass.

I will report back when it's done.I have that poem framed and hanging in my office. My dad gave it to me about four years ago. It hung in his office for his entire career.
