I'm nothing special, but let me give this a shot from 73 years of experience:
1. Treat people with respect.
2. Don't look for a fight.
3. A high-priced education does not mean you can fix the toilet.
4. Put the seat down when you're done.
5. Do not allow harassment in the workplace.
6. Learn how to listen.
7. Act your age.
8. Never look down upon others.
9. Defend the defenseless.
10. Never let anyone go hungry.
11. Be a positive role model.
12. Smile, don't sneer.
13. Realize that money does not equate to intelligence.
14. Love and enjoy animals and nature.
15. Perform at least one Random Act of Kindness per day.
Short list, I know, I could go on, and urge others to add to it. I have never had a "Charmed Life".
I've been to war, worked many jobs, I never thought of demeaning anyone (caveat: if they demean me, women, the helpless, my family, I'm a raging tiger).
If I looked him in the eye, he'd melt like butter in the hot sun.
I'm just a man who learned a lot over the years and I'm more masculine than he could ever be.
