10 Rules for Every Man about Being Manly

By Mr. Heinegg

# 1: Family is the Key

Confucius said, "The strength of a nation derives

from the integrity of the home. The father who does not teach his son his duties is equally guilty with the son who neglects them."

#2 Friendship
The bird a nest, the spider a web, man friendship. William Blake, The Proverbs of Hell "Each friend represents a world in us, a world possibly not born until they arrive, and it is only by this meeting that a new world is born."- Anais Nin

#3 Arete

"The most articulated value in Greek culture is Aret. Translated as "virtue," the word actually means something closer to "being the best you can be," or "reaching your highest human potential." The term from Homeric times onwards is not gender specific.

#4 Humility and Perspective

Until recently, astronomers estimated that the Big Bang occurred between 12 and 14 billion years ago. To put this in perspective, the Solar System is thought to be 4.5 billion years old and humans have existed as a genus for only a few million years.

# 5 Exuberance

Exuberance is Beauty; youth is beauty Blake, The Proverbs of Hell "What lies behind us and what lies ahead of us are tiny matters compared to what lives within us." Henry David Thoreau

#6 Be Honorable

I never had a policy; I have just tried to do my very best each and every day. ~Abraham Lincoln There is no pillow so soft as a clear conscience. ~French Proverb Love all, trust a few, do wrong to none. ~William Shakespeare Laws control the lesser man. Right conduct controls the greater one. ~Chinese Proverb(Gre e To know what is right and not do it is the worst cowardice. ~Confucius k

pl To thine own self be true, and it must follow, as the night the
day, thou canst not then be false to any man. ~William Shakespeare

# 7 Daring and Adventure

Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing. Helen Keller Read Thoreau, who said the following: "Do not be too moral. You may cheat yourself out of much life so. Aim above morality. Be not simply good, be good for something." "Not till we are completely lost or turned around... do we begin to find ourselves." "Most men lead lives of quiet desperation and go to the grave with the song still in them."

# 9 Skill plus Effort

If it falls your lot to be a street sweeper, sweep streets like Michelangelo painted pictures, sweep streets like Beethoven composed music, sweep streets like Leontyne Price sings before the Metropolitan Opera. Sweep streets like Shakespeare wrote poetry. Sweep streets so well that all the hosts of heaven and earth will have to pause and say: Here lived a great street sweeper who swept his job well. If you can't be a pine at the top of the hill, be a shrub in the valley. Be the best little shrub on the side of the hill.

Be a bush if you can't be a tree. If you can't be a highway, just be a trail. If you can't be a sun, be a star. For it isn't by size that you win or fail. Be the best of whatever you are. - MLK
