Get the manfangled mug.This will not be funny, but you should read it anyways, I honestly advise you.
Please don’t discount this because of the archaic gender specificity.
A man of honor is someone who keeps their word. Who treats it like it means something. They respect themselves, enough to be chiefly interested in two things: self-improvement and honor.
It’s difficult to convey the emotional significance of words in text, so I ask that you view this with the lens of a kind, good human, not your internet facade nor who you reveal yourself to be to others. Read this with the eyes of the only person who knows you best, and who doesn’t lie within.
Self-improvement is a matter of two things: respecting yourself enough to want to make yourself better, and respecting others enough to know that their advice holds a kernel of crystallized experience, experience that, no matter how far above them you think you are, cannot be denied. Everyone has something you can learn from. Life isn’t easy; is it really so strange everybody picks things up along the way?
There are many more things that bring a man of honor really mean. All of these, though, are not things I can tell you, but things you have to learn through reflection and humble perception.
And don’t try to learn alone. If you want to truly understand, you have to talk to someone you respect and whose opinion you value. Have a conversation. I guarantee, as long as you take those words to heart, you’ll be a better person for it.

You are a man of honor, just in that you have read this, and I respect you for it. Now go all the way, and learn what you can.

Get the manfluencer mug.(nicknamed Bernie Madoff): alongside Nicolas Fouquet, Conrad Black, Jacques Chirac and Michel Platini, IMHO one of the top 5 most corrupt individuals in the Western world (as of May 2013).
The United States knew what they were doing when they sentenced Bernard Madoff to 150 years in jail for his ponze scheme; IMHO the Charbonneau Commission should do the same with all Canadians convicted of fraud and tax evasion.
