Recenzii
“In an era where words such as ‘manly,’ ‘stout-hearted,’ and ‘rugged’ are dismissed as ape like remnants of an outdated age, Mike Herron steps forward to rescue the notion of manliness, to restore its respect with a treasure chest chock-full of wisdom and wit, a guidebook filled with pithy pearls of advice and instruction, all pointing the way to the rock-solid ground of a place he warns has been neglected too long—that place we call manhood.” — Mike D’Orso, author of eight national best-sellers and a collection of award-winning essays titled PUMPING GRANITE and Other Portraits of People at Play.

Extras
Attitude
Testosterone is, above all, an attitude—one that will bolster the outcome of just about everything you do. When you start with enthusiasm, confidence, or willingness and desire—versus their alternatives—better results are inevitable. With a testosterone attitude, successes become more common and significant. A little attitude adjustment helps to overcome inadequacies and hurdles.
A positive attitude multiplies the quality of everything—your effort, determination, intensity, calmness, insight, focus, input, output, spirit, and sanity. Testosterone influences your level of success. Better yet, testosterone can make all the difference you’ll need.
Talk is cheap. Actions speak louder than words.
And money buys whiskey.
I will never quit …. I will not fail.
U.S. Navy SEAL Pledge
When you bury the hatchet,
make sure it isn’t in someone’s head.
“How much more grievous are the consequences
of anger than the causes of it.”
Marcus Aurelius
When someone invades your personal space, don’t step back— instead, step forward.
A good sense of humor is a wonderful blessing.
Laughter is the best medicine.
“It’s my rule never to lose me temper,
till it would be detrimental to keep it.”
Sean O’Casey
When you have the opportunity to take a nap, go for it.
We will either find a way, or make one.
Hannibal
Looking forwards is far more productive than looking backwards, yet living in the present is what matters.
Variety is the spice of life.
Don’t go through life like a single food eater.
If all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail.
From Abraham Maslow
If you must face the music, dance to it.
