His brother and he had spent most of the night talking about their jobs. Somewhere during the course of the conversation, Martin realized that his chi...ldhood was over and that it was time to start acting like an adult.Jerry glanced over at Martin and said, “You have to put the anger behind you to get ahead in this world.
