I think one of the finest qualities a man can posses is honesty. I"m more likely to respect an honest drunk than I am a hard working, bald faced lier. Following in a close second, if not tied for first, is a man that isn"t afraid to be a hard worker. Too many nowdays think that the world is owed to them and that it should be given to them on a silver plater. It was hard work that made this country great and it"s the dying of that work ethic that is killing it slowely. It"s time we did something to bring the work ethic back. Next tell them to take responsibility for their actions and "be a man" and face up to the consequenses of those actions. This has partly to do with being honest and being responsible for yor actions, but for the older ones it can go beyond that also. I know it"s not really an issue with the younger kids as it will be with the older teenagers, but too many of them nowdays are becoming "fathers" themselves. I put that in quotes because their is a big difference in being a true father and simply being a biological father. This is a reason unto itself for all of us out there to be supportive of the coming generations and to show them by example how real men handle themselves. Eventually the task of doing this is gonna rest on their shoulders, if it already isn"t, and their gonna need all the guidence and support they can get.........We all know there"s alot to "being a real man" and no one thing is really gonna make you or break you. The main thing is to live a good life, follow the Golden Rule, and above all to DO YOUR BEST....Nobody is ever gonna fault you for doing your best.... Those are my thoughts, what about the rest of ya"ll.....

Well, he decided to go get Mom out of the house and have her drive the tractor while he walked behind the plow. You got to understand that while my Mom is a hard worker who will always help whenever she can... she had never operated farm machinery before that day. Dad got her out there, explained how the clutch was the same as in our o
