In, his classic poem, "IF" Rudyard Kipling illustrated some of the requisites of manhood. Here's a similar take on the same theme:

IF

If you can start the day without caffeine;
If you can get going without pep pills;
If you can always be cheerful, ignoring aches and pains;
If you can conquer tension without medical help;
If you can relax without liquor;
If you can sleep without the aid of drugs;
If you can resist complaining and boring others with your troubles;
If you can eat the same food every day and be grateful for it;
If you can be understanding and forgiving when your loved ones are too busy to give you any time;
If you can overlook it when those you love take it out on you when, through no fault of yours, something goes wrong;
If you can criticism and blame without resentment;
If you can let bygones be bygones and never harbor a grudge;
If you can ignore a friend’s limited education and never correct him/her;
If you can resist treating a rich friend better than a poor friend;
If you can face the world without lies or deceit;
If you can say that you never feel jealousy, envy, conceit or pride;
If you can honestly say that deep in your heart you have no prejudice against creed, color, religion or politics----
Then, my friend, you are ALMOST as good as your dog.
