Skills for life

My parents told me that the number one skill a man needs to have inorder to be a man is to act like one:

1. Not be afaid to stand up for yourself.
2. Have your diplomas by your side inorder to apply for any job you want to have.
3. Stand by your family as they are the only ones who might stand up for you.
4. Don't be afraid to ask questions about what you want to know.
5. Respect yourself so that people start respercting you.
