A quote that I really like is we encourage what we tolerate. So if your son talks back to you

and you don't bring it up, you don't say anything about it, not only are you neutral on it,

you're actually encouraging him to do it again. Or if he's disrespectful to his mother and you don't

stand up for your wife, he's never going to learn how a man stands up for the woman in his life and checks people

when they need to be checked.

You can do it politely, you can do it respectfully, but it still needs to be brought

to attention.

You're a man of action.

You live life to the fullest.

Embrace your fears and boldly chart your own path.

When life knocks you down, you get back up one more

time every time you are not easily deterred or defeated rugged resilient strong this is your life

this is who you are this is who you will become at the end of the day and after all is said and done

you can call yourself a man.

MMA has obviously gotten major popularity over the years, but anybody that, that is kind of

old school, you know, MMA, like before UFC was what it is today, and you start looking at

pride fights
