The best way, without a doubt, to learn is by the examples of others. I learned from the examples of the many good fathers in my fathers side of the family. All of them followed the example of the patriarch of the family, my grandfather, who lived (and worked) till he was almost 101. My grandfather lived with my father and mother and siblings in our house for 40 years of my life. All these good examples, grandfather, father and uncles, remained married for life. We didn't watch TV and live detached lives like people do today, we were a close family, and I listened to the stories about all of my ancestors, and all of the great freinds and men that they knew. This was our entertainment.
From this experience, one sees DAILY for all of their lives what it is to be a man, a good just man, to those placed in their care, as fathers, and as employers. This is how one learns the right way.
That is the source of my experience, good fathers. It is my intention to continue that heritage passed on to me, and hopefully be the patriarch that my grandfather was.
