Alright, this one is just some advice and tips to being a strong and respectable man. I've picked all of these up along the way and I have not always been like this. Some of them I still forget from time to time. The important thing is to respect others always and avoid disrespectful people. Realize you do not know everything (or much of anything), and stay humble.  1. Communication: This is the way you present yourself out towards the world and the way you are perceived. Be confident in your actions (fake it if you must), be clear and concise with your words (spoken and written), try not to interrupt others and listen when others are speaking. This stuff becomes second nature over time.  2. Be reliable and on time (or early): Arriving 15 minutes early for meetings or appointments is always wise. Allow and plan for unforeseen delays (traffic, accidents etc...) 3. Keep your appearance presentable: This doesn't always mean you have to be wearing dress shirts and a tie. The idea ...

  We all make mistakes in life, every single last damn one of us. I have made many mistakes in life. I have made many good moves and decisions as well, but a person tends to remember the mistakes more prominently, that's just a human thing.  What separates the wheat from the chaff is this; we either learn from our mistakes and move forwards in self-correction, or fail to learn learn anything and move backwards. This is where the greatest humans are made, the ones that are able to recognize that what they are doing is wrong, and then figure out how to make it right.  This is true of all aspects in life, we try to teach each other the proper way to go about life, but some don't understand or don't care. Those people are losers and will stay losers until a great moment of self discovery happens and they recognize the error of their ways (sometimes this never happens). So use social cues, use your brain, use common sense, logic and rationality. Too many of those walking aroun...

 Practice is the key to life.  Nobody is great at anything the very first time they try. Sometimes it might seem like that, because often people won't allow you to see a skill or talent until they have been at home practising that skill for many hours.  Most professional athletes work for actual years, every day for multiple hours to get as good as they are at their profession. It all takes work and dedication to do something well. This is why school, and post secondary education, and grad school all exist. Because if you want a good life and to become skilled at something, it takes a long time to get there.  So pick up hobbies, but follow through. This world is littered with people who try to do something and aren't good right away, and quit doing that thing. Then they move on to the next thing and repeat the process, never gaining any actual skills and floating through life as a person who isn't really good at anything and expecting the world to be good to them.
