On Weak Men

I keep this list to remember the man I do not want to become. It will evolve as I do.

A weak man:

  1. Runs from responsibility.
  2. Blames others and luck for his failures.
  3. Lets his emotions control him.
  4. Is controlled by his addictions.
  5. Lies when the truth is difficult.
  6. Breaks his commitments.
  7. Abandons his principles when they become inconvenient.
  8. Confuses control with leadership.
  9. Looks down on others.
  10. Avoids difficult conversations.
  11. Refuses to admit when he is wrong.
  12. Avoids discipline.
  13. Is always distracted.
  14. Mistakes aggression for courage.
  15. Needs constant approval.

Don't be a weak man.
