Integrity
How to Be a Man of Integrity
By JRIngrisano
Step 1:
Be steady. That is perhaps the highest compliment a real man can receive: being called steady. Not flashy. Not dangerous. Not cool. Steady! Be the kind of man who provides for those who depend on him--coming home every night, working hard, being a good father, not changing your mind every time the wind of public opinion changes.
Step 2:
Be reliable. If you say you are going to do something do it, even if no one is watching. Real men have principles that they honor.
Step 3:
Be a man of integrity. Say what you mean and mean what you say. Make your word sacred.
Step 4:
Be honest. Don't play games, cut corners or manipulate the truth. Speak the truth and have the guts the stand behind your own words. Be a person others can trust.
Step 5:
Be strong. Our strength is one of our greatest traits. That does not mean being a tough guy, but it does mean sucking it up--both the physical and emotional pain -- when the people who count on you are counting on you. Forget whining and complaining. Even when you get screwed over royally, be strong. People will learn to count on you if you are a man of strength.
Step 6:
Be a man of principle. When you speak, know why you believe what you are saying. Just as important, act according to your set of principles.
Step 7:
Respect yourself. Walk, dress and conduct yourself with self-respect, like you know you are worth something.
Step 8:
Respect others. Belittling, manipulating and bullying others is a sign of weakness. A man of integrity treats others--especially women--with respect.
Step 9:
Recognize that you are an example, a role model. Be a positive one. You can make a tremendous difference in the lives of those who count on you.
