CHARACTER, STRENGTH AND WISDOM
A real man’s strength comes from within. ; Unless you find that one true friend for life, and even then you need to be her rock, you should have internal nerves of steel. A real man knows who he is. ; A real man is never run over by personalities around him. ; He doesn’t compromise his values to his boss, his girlfriend, wife or anyone. ; He knows what he stands for and who he is. ; You should be strong enough to let your woman do as she pleases and trust her to come back to your bed at the end of the day. ; If she does not, or you ever find she has cheated, you move on. You don’t let her affect the next person willing to love you better. ; A real man’s strength is not merely in muscle, but sharpness of senses. ; A real man follows his instincts. ; The signs of a real man’s strength vary, from brushing the dirt off a wound to brushing fowl words off your shoulder. ; A real man doesn’t have a chip on his shoulder, a real man knows for every situation he must adjust. ; A real man buries his vulnerabilities from everyone. ; No one should ever know your Achilles heel.
A real man is self-confident with high-self esteem. ; A real man believes in something greater than himself. ; Be it God, or other, but he knows the sun, moon and stars do not revolve around himself. ;He has no use for arrogance.
A real man is an expert listener. ; Wisdom can only be achieved by learning. ; You cannot learn without listening. ; You’ve heard the saying we are all geniuses as wise men until we open our mouth. The less you say the smarter you are, even if you only appear it. ; But in doing so, your listening will make you wiser.
