Honour - a prized possession



Honour is man's most prized possession - without it, life is not worth living. Make sure you don't lose it.

Choose Deeds Over Appearance

How much time do we as people spend on our outward appearances? Shaves, haircuts, fashion, Make-up.

 

How much time, care and attention do we give daily to what we do for others?

 

Your deeds are more important than your looks.

 





The Truly Rich Man

The man who adapts himself to his slender means and makes himself wealthy on a slender sum, is the truly rich man.

 

Rich is a very subjective term. Status anxiety causes us to want more and more, while getting less and less true satisfaction.

 

If we take a Spartan approach to life, clothing for warmth not brands, food for sustenance, not hedonism, a home for shelter over extravagance, then we can surely be rich no matter what our income.



The Might of Right



Right is mightier than a thousand men at arms. When we stand up for what is right, even alone and unarmed, we are stronger, not physically, but morally.

 

Our moral integrity and honour shines through when we stand for what's right, instead of what's the law.

 

Even now in China, students are fighting for what's right against a militaristic Government that bring force upon those that question their rule.

 

Throughout history, right has proven mightier than a thousand men at arms.

Conduct



In all things, let us conduct ourselves so that all men wish to be our friends and all fear to be our enemies.

 

I know it's not politically correct and feminists may baulk at it, but men should carry a Chivalric code in all they do. We should be respectful, helpful, mind our language and our manners. Give respect to get respect.

 

At the same time our conduct, body language and speech should let people know, making an enemy of us is not a good idea.

 

Be the best friend they would ever want and the worst enemy, if they choose to make that choice.

Maslows Hierarchy of Needs

 



Physiological needs are about having the right nutrition and water, access to fresh air, enough rest and exercise.

Safety needs are about security and feeling safe – physically and emotionally, the need to have shelter/a home and to have stability in one’s life.

Belongingness and love and are to do with others, the social side of feeling that you belong, are connected, loved and included.

Esteem needs concerns inner self – having feelings of achievement, being recognised, having power over one’s life and being a person different from another person.

Self-actualization is to do with achieving one’s full potential, being creative and finding that specialness of oneself.



Three questions

1. Who am I?
2. Why am I here?
3. What do I want?
