What does it mean to be a man?

A man is someone who realizes that strength of character is more important than being tough.
He can be tender and kind, and he does not misuse his authority.
He is generous and enjoys giving as well as receiving.
A man is understanding; he tries to see both sides of a situation.
He is responsible; he knows what needs to be done, and he does it.
He is trustworthy; his word is his honor.
A man loves humor and looks at the bright side of things and life in general.
He takes time to think before he reacts.
He loves life, nature, discovery, excitement and so much more.
He is a little boy sometimes, living in an adult body and enjoying the rest of both worlds!
My Johari may you grow to be a man with strength of character and integrity!
