What does it mean to be a man?
John Donovan, author of "The way of man", says masculinity is a combination of 4 traits: honour, strength, courage & mastery. Vincent Harinam proposes a similar triad:
- Courage: being afraid of doing something but doing it anyway
- Personal Responsibility, verging on extreme ownership: taking responsibility for not only your problems but group and family also.
- Conquest: having a goal bigger than yourself
All of the above are based on the meta-skill of emotional control. Does not matter how you feel when you get up in the morning .... there is a job to be done, and real men do it.
