Man up! (2)

Being a real man is not about building up muscles, being popular with the girls, or impressing the girls. Any animal in the jungle can do that.

Man up! (1)

Being a male vs. Being a Man -- many a sample of the male species out there don't know the difference. Boy-men, macho-men, and other types of males drive women crazy and are a shame to the species. But not all hope is lost. Watch this new series on how to become a real Man and be respected by everyone — especially your wife. Man up!

The 10 Commandments — My version for the 21st Century:

1. I am God, your God, who got you out of trouble more times than you can remember. No other gods, only Me.
2. No fake gods either – carved, painted, or any other way. Don't idolize anything in the sky, earth, or water. I'm a jealous God.
3. No using God's name in curses or silly banter. I won't put up with disrespectful use of My name.
4. Work six days, keep the seventh day holy. Even God rested on the seventh day. Do the same.
5. Live so your mother and father will be proud of you. Respect them too. You'll live a long life if you do that.
6. No murder. I don't extend you rights over someone else's life.
7. No adultery. Be loyal to the one you married.
8. No stealing. Other people's property is sacred. If you must have it, work for it and get your own.
9. No lying about anyone or anything, ever.
10. No lusting after someone else's house, car, position, wife or husband. Don't set your heart on anything your neighbor has.

You know these rules make sense. You'll be smart if you follow them.

You may check out the 10 Commandments as they appear in the Bible here. Tell me how they compare and what you think.

And while you're at it, why don't you spread some of this around? Wouldn't the world be a better place if more people knew and practiced the 10 Commandments? You'd be surprised how many people can't name even three.

P.S. More 10 Commandments in this blog.

Head over heart

One of the most important life lessons I've ever learned.

Where do I start?

You know the feeling you get when:

• You have so many things to do, but so little time
• You have messed up real bad, and don’t know how fix it
• You are so stressed with so many problems hitting you at the same time
• You have a great idea but lack the know-how or resources to make it happen

You ask yourself, with a tone of helplessness in your voice, “Where do I start?”

The problem with that question is that it’s often the wrong one to ask. In my experience, “where” is overrated. Yes, surely there are times when you must start at the right place or by doing one specific thing first — like starting to build a house by laying down the foundations.

But most of the time, it’s not so much where you start but “when”. If instead of asking, “Where do I start?” you would ask, “What can I do about this starting right now?” — then “where” would eventually take care of itself.

What can you do about your situation/problem/idea starting right now?
