LESSONS FROM MY DAD
14 Rules for MEN
- A man should never go back to a relationship with a woman who has already betrayed that trust through infidelity.
With her, she had already proved to you what she was made of as a person.
You’re not a backup plan, and you’re not an option.
You are the king over your life.
Respect yourself enough to turn and walk away, and never look back.
2. Never let them disrespect you, woman or no woman.
The moment you allow it to take hold, you start to lose your personal power.
Stand your ground, insist on respect, and take nothing less.
You are a man of great worth and merit, and she needs to know this about you.
It means setting either a high and noble standard or, alternatively, proud opting-out unrhetorically, unproblematically, or unconfusedly.
3. Do not stand to shake hands while seated.
The former consider this as the mark of their weakness and indolence.
Stand tall, reach up to them with confidence, and hold on tight with all one’s might.
A handshake’s your bond, your word, so it’d better be good and command respect.
A person should always rise to the challenge at hand and rise above, not sunken into one’s seat or disinterested amongst others who may be present.
4. Never go broke trying to impress anybody else.
Fools are the ones who give up their future for the temporary high of being accepted.
True power comes with the application of practices constituting financial discipline and independence regarding handling one’s self.
Let them be doing their own thing in chasing vanity; you up your game in building your wealth.
5. Never eat the last of anything if you did not buy it.
It means respect, and one is in charge of their self.
Let him do it; he has already paid the price.
A real man knows when to take and when to draw back.
Be continent, and take care to never be the taker but never a giver.
6. Always have an urge or desire to be better.
Complacency is the enemy of greatness.
That is to say, every single day presents an opportunity to be improved upon and risen beyond to be better than the best one was yesterday.
Set a goal and crush it, then set it higher.
Restless in quest and unbending before stagnation, press relentlessly toward the change of self.
7. Never let a man front you.
Firm in what is right-endure, immovable; keep to a position firmly.
Every time you allow another person to take over the control of your life and take it in a certain direction, you have lost big, so to speak.
Be the caller of shots, a setter of terms, and not being commanded to perform.
Strength is never given; it is achieved with the determination of never caving or sidestepping to any obstacle or problem.
8. When asked a question, wait about 1 to 3 seconds before responding.
This says a lot about being in control over oneself, unimpulsive.
This is an English translation of, which literally means “A quick head doesn’t equal a fast mouth.”.
Think first, then speak authoritatively.
That is a comma as a command of respect or at least as a weight carrier of the words.
9. No pleading for a relationship.
And, in one scoop, it picks up every shred of credibility out of your worth and value.
Real men never run after; they attract.
Now, leave her behind, proud, with the head held high, if she couldn’t realize your worth.
Never compromise your dignity for anyone. You’re the prize—act like it.
10. Your handshake should be firm in character. It is a sign of strength, confidence, and respect-first.
The limp handshake is symbolic of a limp man.
Ah, hold with purpose and intention, locking eyes, letting them ‘feel’-and know-the weight of your presence.
Your handshake says something before the words start flowing-so make that something, ‘I’m in control.”.
11. Go to the gym at least 4 days a week.
Your body is your temple; strength is the foundation of everything in your life that is great.
No excuses, no shortcuts, just discipline and dedication.
You owe it to yourself to achieve and maintain an optimum level of your physical and mental being.
12. Always dress up whether the occasion calls for it or not.
Your appearance is your first statement-make it count.
This Look in sharp asks for respect to all the people surrounding and differentiates many.
Make it a point never to be caught off guard with anything; always be one of the best-dressed men in the room, period.
Style is power; wear it as armor.
13. Learn to defend yourself.
A man, in being unable to defend or protect his person, is absolutely at the mercy of the whole wide world, which surely is not predictable.
That is where the confidence, the skill, and the strength come in-because one knows they can handle anything thrown at them.
It says, “Do not depend on others for your safety and security; rather, let yourself be the very first and last line of defense against any crimes or harm at all times.”.
14. Quit Porn.
There are certain problems that modern men go through, and which hardly get highlighted and seldom get discussed:
- • Lack of confidence
- • Low self-esteem
- • Masturbation
- • Adult contents
Get “Conquer Porn” and turn your life around, if that is what you want, and regain your masculinity.
