10 Lessons Every Father Must Teach His Son:

  1. Take action. Time waits for no man. When you have an idea all you have to do is take the first step.
  2. Respect women. Women are different from men. They don't think and feel in the same way a man does. Respect them emotionally by understanding where they are coming from and they will help you in ways you could have never imagined possible. You will get momentum and then you just need to keep the ball rolling. You'll realize the fears you had that appeared to be Mount Everest were only speed bumps.
  3. Be a Gentleman. Always approach situations with honor. Examples: -A firm handshake -Looking the other person in the eye -Opening a car door for a woman -Holding your woman's hand and escorting her while walking These actions all carry dignity, respect and strength.
  4. Be a man of integrity. “Integrity is doing the right thing, even when no one is watching.” | C.S. Lewis Every time you lie another reality spawns that you have to keep track of. Be a man who speaks the truth and lives by the truth. Your life will be far more peaceful.
  5. Be your family's rock. Whenever your wife or kids have a problem they must be able to come to you for support. You are the unmovable mountain that they need in order to get through life safely. YOU are their safety.
  6. Failure doesn't exist. Although is it tempting to beat yourself up over a loss, you must remember that no matter the situation you either won or learned. Wasting time and energy thinking about your failures only robs you of life's joys.
  7. Stand up for others. Not everyone is strong. You must protect those who are vulnerable. If you see someone being bullied, help the weaker person out. You'll not only gain respect from those around you but you will immediately gain a friend also.
  8. Be well-spoken. Your voice has power - use it. It is very important to remain calm when talking. Talk slowly with confidence and you'll have the attention of everyone in the room.
  9. Stay humble. You should hold yourself in high regard but don't get too caught up in your own success or superiority. If you're arrogant the world will humble you and it is usually quite painful.
  10. Be all you can be. We are put on this planet to become all that we can be. Dream big. Remember that you will never exceed your highest expectations so don't set the bar low.
