Inspired by the Let it out post, wher everybody contributed, i thought i would post this. I was thinking about general wisdom and advice that you not only live by but also the sort of stuff you wish your dad had told you - you know, stuff about how to be a real T-man.
Of course this knowledge should be passed down to your kids. I have put a few of mine below.
Always have a reason for the things that you do - that way you’ll never be lost for words should anyone call you on it.
Always get your story straight and stick to it, do not change it.
Make sure you’ve always got you wallet, phone and keys on you - they are the only things you really need when you’re out.
If it takes you more than 10 mins to get ready (not including shit, shower, shave) then you need to re-evaluate.
Always greet your loved one with a kiss.
Take you job as a parent seriously. Discipline, behavior, training etc are skills that you should be instilling, not the school or society. If they fuck up, it is your fault, not society’s.
Never blame anything you don’t like about yourself on genetics, environment, society or anything else. If you don’t like something about yourself, change it.
NEVER act like a dickhead for the sake of it. Intellect, intelligence, attitude and manners are what separate T-men from other mere mortals. If you are acting like a dick, it is because you lack one of the above.
Quiet confidence always speaks the loudest. If you feel the need to announce your attributes, chances are they are non-existent.
NEVER curl in the squat rack.
NEVER chat about shit in the gym.
Time resting during sets should be wasted - stretch, think about anhiliating the next set and always scan for honeys.
Gotta go now, but please add some of your own rules, advice and T-man wisdom. But, make sure it is intelligent and useful - this is the stuff your want to pass down as part of your legacy!
