I've always told both my kids, a good work ethic is everything. Give 100% whatever you're doing. You do this and chances are, you will be successful in life.
I've been lucky. Both listened to me and are doing good so far in their young 20's.
Life is a journey. Make sure and bring plenty of Beer.
My luck has been so bad lately, it could be raining pussies and I'd catch one with a dick broke off in it.

1. Treat the ladies the same way you hope a young man will treat your daughter(s) one day. Then, when you find a young lady that is humble, has a good sense of humor, and loves the Lord, marry her. 2. Once married, fight for that marriage fiercely. Don’t let anyone or anything wedge itself between you and the Mrs. There isn’t a thing in this world more valuable than a good wife. 3. Remind yourself daily that you were put here for a reason. Live life with a purpose.

Believe nothing you hear, only half of what you see, and nothing off the interwebs sites.
Don't go looking for TROUBLE, it'll find you soon enough!

Tell the truth, i dont care if it hurts you or costs you a few dollars, tell the truth. A mans name is all hes got at times and his name will live on long after hes gone. If youll lie for a dollar, youd lie for anything, for Gods sake tell the truth. No its not just business, if youve got to lie to do business, you suck at your business. I agree 100%

My grandpa said to me when I was very young,”Son, you may never be rich but you will own your name - it’s the only thing the world can’t take from you - but if you damage it there’s not enough money in the world to fix it.”
I’ve shared that statement with my son many times and with many other people.
I’ve tried my best to be honest, faithful to God, loving towards my wife and family, a good friend, and a good citizen. I’m far from perfect and I have failed at all of those despite my best efforts. But, my name is intact and undamaged.

One of the most important thing to know before you let testosterone get the better of you, if you are looking to fight know this; a young man may hurt you, but an old man will kill you.
If you don't understand that now, you will when you get old. For now, just know that it is true. Coldtrails original post was ca very good one and there's not a lot that I could add to that so I'll add a little to Jawbones comments. You should all know by now that there is no real winner in a fight, only losers to different degrees. That being said you should also know, "The only fair fight is one that I won". In other words, if after you have exhausted all other options you find yourself in a fight anyway, you do whatever it takes to protect yourself. If someone is pulverizing you with his fists, bite him, kick him in the nads, throw sand in his eyes, or grab a tire iron if you can. If he is about to stick you with a knife, shoot the SOB. For myself, when it's over and I'm able to stand up, dust my old butt off, and walk away with my health intact, it was a fair fight.

Be on time. Be where you are suppose to be when you said you will be there.
Be a man of your word, some folks may not like you but they will respect you
Don't expect to get paid like a man with 20 years experience when you only have one.
If you're gonna be stupid you better be tough.

Buy and carry a GOOD pistol and Practice like your life depends on it,cause it does. Have plenty of ammo and means of making more. Be best friends with your wife. This is very good advice for the world we live in. Prepare to be able to fend for yourself. Food, water, shelter, etc. That day is coming

I saw these on FB the other day and thought that a young man who followed these rules would be a pretty fine young man.
RULES FOR SONS:
1. Never shake someone’s hand while you are in a seated position. 2. Don’t enter a pool by the stairs. 3. Being the man at the BBQ Grill is the closest thing to being king. 4. In a negotiation, never make the first offer. 5. Request the late check-out. 6. When entrusted with a secret, keep it. 7. Hold your heroes to a higher standard. 8. Return a borrowed car with a full tank of gas. 9. Play with passion or not at all… 10. When shaking hands, grip firmly and look them in the eye. 11. Don’t let a wishbone grow where a backbone should be. 12. If you need music on the beach, you’re missing the point. 13. Carry two handkerchiefs. The one in your back pocket is for you. The one in your breast pocket is for her. 14. You marry the girl, you marry her family. 15. Be like a duck. Remain calm on the surface and paddle like crazy underneath. 16. Experience the serenity of traveling alone. 17. Never be afraid to ask out the best looking girl in the room. 18. Never turn down a breath mint. 19. A sport coat is worth 1000 words. 20. Try writing your own eulogy. Never stop revising. 21. Thank a veteran. Then make it up to him. 22. Eat lunch with the new kid. 23. After writing an angry email, read it carefully. Then delete it. 24. Ask your mom to play. She won’t let you win. 25. Manners maketh the man. 26. Give credit. Take the blame. 27. Stand up to Bullies. Protect those bullied. 28. Write down your dreams. 29. Always protect your siblings (and teammates). 30. Be confident and humble at the same time. 31. Call and visit your parents often. They miss you. 32. The healthiest relationships are those where you’re a team; where you respect, protect, and stand up for each other.
The rules were adapted from the “whatgirlswant” blog on Tumblr

don't worry about always having to carry a gun. ive been in situations and can tell you that two legs is better than any gun you can buy.
Wow. That works fine until it don't..at which point you'll be lucky to make out of that encounter alive.
