11 things a man must have the guts to say

1. \"I am taken\"
There will always be women trying to lure a man especially when he is taken. A taken man looks presentable because there is already a woman/wife in his life making him shine. A weak man will not let an opportunity to taste new waters of new women pass. But a great man will turn down their advances, remain loyal to the woman who has stood by him all this while, and have the guts to tell those opportunistic women \"I am taken. Keep off!\"

2. \"I am my own man\"
People will put expectations on a man, \"Why can\'t you be like your dad?\", \'Why not follow the footsteps of your brother?\", \"Why are you not as rich as so and so\", \"Why don\'t you venture into this business/ career?\", \"Why don\'t you talk like so and so\"... a great man is firm in his identity, he chooses his own path and walks it. He tells his parents, his uncles, the world \"Yes, there have been and are many great men, but I wasn\'t born to copy. Let me find my own direction, let me make my own mistakes, let me be my own man, and find my own greatness\"
