This time we are continuing on with the previous post called “Rules to teach your son”. If you did not read the previous post, you need to as this list just finishes off that list. As I mentioned last time, I would like to give credit to whoever wrote this however, I have no idea who did…but we can enjoy this great list anyway.

I hope you enjoy them and if you have the time, leave me some feedback on which one is your favorite.

17. Never be afraid to ask out the best-looking girl in the room.

18. Never turn down a breath mint.

19. A sport coat is worth 1,000 words.

20. Try writing your own eulogy. Never stop revising.

21. Thank a veteran. Then make it up to him.

22. Eat lunch with the new kid.

23. After writing an angry email, read it carefully. Then delete it.

24. Ask your mom to play. She won’t let you win.

25. Manners maketh the man.

26. Give credit. Take the blame.

27. Stand up to Bullies. Protect those bullied.

28. Write down your dreams.

29. Take time to snuggle your pets, they love you so much and are always happy to see you.

30. Be confident and humble at the same time.

31. If ever in doubt, remember whose son you are and REFUSE just to be ordinary!

32. In all things lead by example not explanation.

Guys, if you can teach your son to grow up and understand the need to be strong, yet humble, wear a sport coat, behave with manners, and love their mom…you did a great job…

Until next time guys-

Rules to Teach Your Son – Part 1

A few years ago, a friend presented me with this list called “Rules to Teach Your Son”. Some of them are solid and others funny but mostly good advice. One thing to point out is that some of these are not rules, but rather important things you should know as a young man, like #14…REALLY important to know. Keep in mind that you probably won’t agree with all of these, but that is part of the fun.

I always want to give credit where credit is due but in this case, I do not know where these rules originated so I cannot.

Finally, there are a total of 32 rules so I am going to split them up into two posts. I hope you enjoy them and leave me some feedback on which one is your favorite.

And so here we go…Rules to Teach Your Son-

1. Never shake a man’s hand while sitting down.

2. Don’t enter a pool by the stairs.

3. The man at the BBQ Grill is the closest thing to a king.

4. In a negotiation, never make the first offer.

5. In the Hotel, request the “late” check-out.

6. When entrusted with a secret, keep it.

7. Hold your heroes to a higher standard.

8. Always return a borrowed car with a full tank of gas.

9. Play with passion or don’t play at all…

10. When shaking hands, grip firmly and look them in the eye.

11. Don’t let a wishbone grow where a backbone should be.

12. You are completely missing the point if you need music on the beach.

13. Carry two handkerchiefs. The one in your back pocket is for you. The one in your breast pocket is for her.

14. Remember, when you marry the girl, you marry her family.

15. Be like a duck. Remain calm on the surface and paddle like crazy underneath.

16. Experience the serenity of traveling alone.

Again, all in fun and I hope you enjoyed them. The remaining Rules to Teach Your Son will come in my next post so stay tuned-

Until next time guys-
