I got pretty cocky until my uncle smiled at me, put his hand ever so gently on my shoulder and said softly, Davey boy, it takes a man to admit he's wrong.
Belonging to my uncle, who I loved and and looked up to as my hero, that gentle hand felt like a sledgehammer crushing me into the dirt. I damn near broke into tears of shame and never forgot that lesson in life that I was fortunate to have been taught at a young age.
