I'm proud of this kid, too. Crying doesn't diminish you no matter who you are; everyone has the right to their feelings.

"It's OK for macho men to show every emotion available right there, you know. Because I've cried a thousand times [and] I'm gonna cry some more. But, I've soared with eagles and slithered with the snakes and everywhere in between and I'm gonna tell you something right now: there's one guarantee in life and that is that there are no guarantees, yeah. And…understand this: nobody likes a quitter, nobody said life was easy. So if you get knocked down, take the standing eight count, get back up and fight again and you're a macho manic, dig it."
