Grandfathers and fathers often tell us a lot about how much close they come to the cult of real-men.
They yearn and long for such men's thoughts and deeds, especially
when they see how the modern man carries himself around - i.e., young man living in
modern times.
Traits they often talk great about are-
1. Reading the classics
2. Dressing for the occasion – each time
3. Considering others – putting
themselves last
4. Appreciating talent in others
5. Caring for aged and young ones
6. Respect for women
7. Remember one’s roots
8. Patronize sophistication – as in
genuine leather goods, watches, friendships, etc
9. Keeping a diary
10. Remembering landmark dates
11. Not forgetting names of those who
care for you
12. Look at people for what they are and
not where they come from
13. Religiously pursuing a hobby – such a playing an musical instrument, collection of stamps / coins, breeding pets, etc
14. Donating for a cause
15. Look at the positives / blessings
even in a hopeless situation
16. Make sincere efforts and pursue the dream
17. Not demotivated by slips / failures
18. Being original
19. Travel and see new places / people
20. Sharing things – even those things
which are dear to them
Those fine
men lived by such credo. And they carried their credo close to their hearts.
Times may have changed now.
But that needn’t have to take a toll on our being part of a band of gentlemen.
Times may have changed now.
But that needn’t have to take a toll on our being part of a band of gentlemen.
And the good
thing is- it is never late to live by such lofty beliefs.
