5 Lessons to teach your son?????

[toasty]

So i want to impart some wisdom on my boychild and I'm all out of wisdom......so let me borrow a cup from Y'all.....

What are the 5 or 6 or 10 or 100 most important lessons you can teach a kid to become a good human being (and a true sherdogger) while still being street wise enough to survive in this wicked world.

I've got 1 or two in mind-

Always be a man of your word or you're won't be a man anyone will listen to or trust

Always say what you mean, mean what you say and know why you're saying it

Avoid debt, but if you do owe someone you pay them back.

This kind of shit and I need more of it, so I would greatly appreciate your input here........

1. Never make excuses, especially to yourself. Even valid excuses. Those are the most dangerous. Because at the end of the day a valid excuse is just a permission slip for failure. Don't give yourself permission to fail. Not for any reason.

2. Your life circumstances are your fault. This becomes even more true the older you get. If you don't like your circumstances then change them. Yes it will be hard. Do it anyway.

3. Always make decisions that will make your future self happy. Not your current self. Your current self is an idiot. Don't give him what he wants.

4. Only pursue careers that are considered very difficult. Most people are lazy and stupid, and are scared away from these careers. That means the people who can do these jobs are always in high demand and paid well. Besides, it won't be hard for you once you get enough experience. It's only hard at the beginning.

5. Always pronounce "short-lived" with a long i sound.

*How to cook.
Its a skill that everyone should learn so they will save a large portion of their income to avoid the costs of food being made for them.

*Quality Nutrition.
Its shocking how people believe food is just to avoid being hungry, and its fuel for both the body and brain. Improper nutrition leads to sickness.

*Proper exercise.
Its necessary to put your body under a regular stress to maintain its strength, and without it your body will become weak as well as your mind.

*Finances.
Its more complicated than 'avoiding debt.'
Its about making proper investments.
I'd have him read books by Dave Ramsey and write book reports about what he's learned.

*Morals & Ethics.
Too broad of a subject to get into here, but its definitely the most imprtant subject that parents must pass on to their children.
Do I really need to get into the consequences of failing to do so?

Ok yeah we’re off to a really really bad start here but I have faith in y’all. @Pliny Pete you’ve gone down some interesting roads and come out the other side. You can do better than this. @AGGAMEMNON66 you probably can’t but your still my special Sherbro and we love to see u try so very hard

 

[ObsoleteSoul]

Invest early
Learn the most difficult skills you can
Realize nobody is coming to save you
Be kind to yourself
Don’t become attached to objects

I did a thread on some of the ones I learned growing up.


From Childhood

Always respect your elders. They may not always be right but theyve gotten further than you. Use yes maam and yes sir as a sign of respect. Any man more than 20 years older is called Mr.

My pawpaw and I were out by the truck at 4:30 to go hunting in my youth. He said, appreciate our time now. I wont be around much longer. (Speaking to spending time and experience with family)

Never depend on anyone else but God and yourself. For life or happiness. Expect that people will fail you (thats ok). But always be dependable and there for others.

ALWAYS do the right thing. Whatever that may be. Sometimes you may be afraid, but do it anyway. Trust in God for the outcome.

Dont be afraid to lose or fail. Dont be satisfied with the outcome but as long as you gave it everything you had then also be satisfied with that part.

Honor your word and commitments. Its one of the most important attributes of a man.

You dont deserve anything in this life. Being alive and in health you already have more than you deserve. So work hard and trust God from there.

ALWAYS get up early. You will get 10 times more done.

Give to everyone but expect nothing.

The road to Heaven is narrow and hard. Choose hard... when you find it too easy then you are going the wrong way

Love is more than a feeling for others. Its a command.

When you love God as you should, forgiving and giving to others as well as keeping the commandments is much easier

(As a teen). Be the kind of man that any man can entrust you with his wifes care and not be worried.

Be a gentleman. ALWAYS

(As a teen). Respect everyones job in life from the highest ranking guy to the guy that picks the trash. They all go home to their families same as you and deserve the same respect and courtesy.

Example not spoken by my dad. Dont be the husband that lets his wife do everything even if she is a stay at home... thats not love. Be the man that you would want to marry if you were a woman or that you would want your daughter to marry.

(As a teen) In a marriage, expect to give more than you get and ALWAYS be faithful.

Wish I would have been taught:

Focus on your studies. You will have the rest of your life to play, but only these few years to determine how much time you will be able.

Never act on impulse or emotion. Nothing good ever comes of it.

When you are wrong or sinned against someone, ALWAYS apologize. Pride isnt worth as much as advertised and is one of the most destructive sins. (My parents never did that).

Stay out of debt... even if you have to struggle. Better not to owe anyone.

First thing to do when you start working is to save for a house. Forget the rest as they will come after you have your house that carries value over time.

Dont worry what others think as long as you have done the right thing and the best you could

Save as much as you can. You never know when you will need it.

Get used to being afraid and getting past it. It will be an asset in most situations

Most of the teachers and managers that were the hardest on me were the ones that helped me the most and furthered my career the most. Being kind is good but you dont learn nearly as much.

There is no love at first sight. People hide themselves for a while... wait and see.

Fuck ya here we go!!!!

 

[Larzon]

Basically just don't be a cunt. My 6 year old has learned this but my 3 year old is still struggling with it. He's a walking talking intrusive thought.

 

[chardog]

In no order

1. How to fix stuff, clogged toilets, replacing roofing shingles , find wall studs, etc.

2. Take responsibility, burden will be on you, work, money, protecting those you love.

3. Outwork all of your friends, because there’s a good chance many of them are better looking, smarter, have connections.

4. Grow your network of connections/surround with the best. The cheat code is that we live in good areas, chances are on your side.

5. Work for yourself, even if this doesn’t produce much money. A great way to teach life lessons on how hard it is to be a boss/ a worker, and learn the world of your future.

Lesson 1 Don't be an asshole.

Lesson 2 No... really. Don't.

Lesson 3 Treat everyone the way you would like to be treated.

Lesson 4 - look men in the eyes, have a firm handshake, keep your word, pay your debts, leave the world better than you found it.

Lesson 5- stay calm.
Every problem has a solution.
So do your best and try to be the type of man who knows where his towel is.

 

[EndlessCritic]

Nobody likes a pushover. Don't assume that being placating will make people like you.

Aspire to be the best version of yourself. Do not be constrained by your assumptions about what others want you to become. Pursue what interests you, and ignore the critics.

 

[Streeter]

I would put Love , respect and fear the Lord #1 but it triggers many here so I will go with these.


1. If you don't respect yourself how can you expect it from others.
2. Acting like a douche may make you feel like a big shit for maybe a minute but being kind and considerate feels better and lasts longer.
3. Don't hold grudges - forgive an forget most times. Holding grudges just hurts you anyway.
4. Help the ones you see need it and you'll find when you need help it will be there
5. never mess with a Sberdogger especially if they wearing a Tap Out shirt - they know MMA. And they are 6'5 265 1% body fat and at least 9 figures in bank.

Lesson 5- stay calm.
