What distinguish men from boys, is his tendency to admit his own mistakes, to take responsibility even when it might seem too hard to carry, never back down from a fight, or jumping off from a plane 20000 feet in the air and say I love you while holding a cute Pembroke Welsh Corgi. This is what real men should strive to achieve.
Being a man is not just using Oldspice products, being a man is more than that. Having a manly voice comes first, next is getting a huge-ass moustache and beard, all while working out and getting a six pack and body that looks like a warrior from Troy. No, you should never trim your armpit hair unless it hinders you from swinging your sword properly against invading aliens. Other than that, you should never trim your hair. Let it grow naturally. For some native folks in Malaysia, hair is the symbol of a man.
Coming back from over-dramatic used of adjective and imagination, let just take a few steps back to when we first recognize the power of being assertive. Being assertive is basically the first lesson to be a man. Assertive in an active manner, and assertive in passive manner. What do I mean by this?
Assertive in an active manner is done when you actively giving out ideas/instructions/orders to others, or someone who knows what he wants and has a clear picture of what is the best solution (according to him) to the problem and he is not afraid to bear the responsibility of sharing it out. This, is what being a real man is all about.
Assertive in passive manner, a man who doesn't speak much, but when he does, it's gold. A person in this category usually let his actions do the talking, when he does something so good and reap such heavy outcome that people just follow him even when he doesn't actively asking for it.
That's all for today's sharing, perhaps it's best to just learn this little step right now before going towards a bigger step.
