Haha, you're struggling

This tweet is the clean version of what I originally planned on writing. We all have struggled, are struggling or will struggle at some point in life. No one's immune to hard times, so why laugh at someone's misfortune? People who laugh at others' misfortunes have poor character. I say that because any decent human wouldn't laugh at someone's struggle because they know it could be them. Then again, we live in a foul world so there are people who are that pathetic to laugh at someone's misfortune. These are the same people who would be in their feelings if someone laughed at their struggle(s). I'll take it one step further: People who laugh at others misfortune are failures in life.

W.B. Ward: The Builder Of Men

Published author W.B. Ward has a FB page called The Builder Of Men, where it gives valuable information on how men can better themselves. As noted, the information is common sense (he admits this himself), but from what I see, some men have forgotten what manhood so this website (The Builder Of Men) is a good place to start. It's painful to see so many broken men. Look at the millions of men who populate the criminal justice system; most of them wouldn't be locked up if they had the proper male influence coming up. What if there's no father present in a boy's life to show him how to be a man? A boy's first example of manhood comes from his father, and if there's no dad present to show him how to be a man, then there needs to be strong father figures available (uncle, coach, mentor, etc.) to show him the way. A woman can't teach a boy about manhood because she's not a man, so one shouldn't be confused by what some single moms may say otherwise. 
I've said for the longest that manhood is on the decline because some men have forgotten the proper standards of manhood. Back in the day, men didn't gossip about other men behind their backs. If a man had issue with another man, he brought his grievance to that man face-to-face. Now, dudes gossip about each other like women and they wonder why some women have no respect for some of them. Well, how can a man expect a woman to respect him if he's carrying on like a woman? She can't, and won't (as she shouldn't.) I especially enjoy the Physical Fitness aspect of W.B. Ward's Builder Of Men website because if a man's on point physically, he'll be on point in other areas of his life. This is why I dedicate myself to a consistent 4-5 day weekly fitness routine of 20 minute cardio followed by powerlifting style strength training at my gym. It's tough, but I feel great afterwards. Those who are serious about becoming better men should visit the author's website (located in the first paragraph of this blog). I've had a good foundation on manhood, but I'm all ears in seeing manhood from another man's perspective. Salute to my classmate and published author W.B. Ward.

Stay Authentic

I've never understood why some people go out of their way to fit in with everyone. It's like some people will sacrifice authenticity for fitting someone's mold, and that shouldn't be. Whatever happened to being yourself? Some folks talk a good game about how they're so real, but you'd never know because they're one way alone, and another way around others. The only acceptable time where you have to fit the mold is in the business world. You can't bring street mentality into a corporate environment because your colleagues will look at you like you're crazy. Most times, the very people you're trying to fit in with are the same ones that'll find some way to reject you, so it's not worth trying to fit anyone's mold.

I'm Difficult & Proud

What is some people's obsession with being difficult? Everywhere you turn, someone's bragging about being difficult. They wear it as a badge of honor. At least they're honest about who they are, which makes it easier for most sensible people NOT to deal with them. Bragging about being difficult is NOT a good look for one reason: Generally, people don't like difficult people. Difficult people are always in conflict with others and are good at deflecting. They say, "You can't handle my brash personality." No one with sense should. In fact, I dislike difficult people and choose not to be around them. Living in the world, difficult people are a part of life so if I have to interact with them, I keep interaction to a minimum.
