16 Lessons Every Boy Should Learn
1. Women are not objects – Treat every female with respect, not as a possession.
2. Fists aren’t solutions – Violence never solves problems; communication does.
3. Happiness isn’t bought – True contentment doesn’t come from money or power.
4. Force isn’t manliness – Real strength comes from patience, not aggression.
5. Respect goes further – More than flowers or gifts, respect is what builds lasting relationships.
6. Trust your gut – Your instincts are powerful; listen to them, they’ll save you more often than not.
7. Never outgrow “Mom” – No matter your age, calling your mother “Mom” or “Mama” shows love. “You” is for friends.
8. Dress the part – Sometimes, neat clothes can be the difference between a “yes” or a “no.”
9. Success has many keys – Whether it’s in sports, art, music, or writing, each passion has its own door to unlock.
10. Choose role models wisely – Bright lights can blind you to red flags. Be careful who you admire.
11. Stay curious – Every corner holds a story; always be open to learning.
12. Earn it, don’t expect it – No one is entitled to what they want. You work hard for what you have and pray for what you need.
13. Kneel before God – When you know how to humble yourself before God, you’ll have the strength to stand up to anyone.
14. Own your choices – Your friends won’t be held responsible for your actions. Think before you act.
15. Choose humility over arrogance – Running with the popular crowd teaches arrogance; sitting with everyday people teaches humility, and humility will take you further.
16. Take God with you – Don’t go anywhere or do anything you wouldn’t want to invite your Heavenly Father to. He’s your ultimate protector.
