Happy Gentlemen's Day!


Recommended Posts

It's a new TGO thing.

The day before Father's Day to celebrate the men, married and single, whose behavior is an example of leadership.

I strive to be a gentleman, it seems a reflection of behavior God expects from me.

According to Wiki, a man of good am courteous conduct.

Wiki, Gentleman by Conduct: 

This use develops through the centuries until 1710, when we have Steele, in Tatler (No. 207), laying down that "the appellation of Gentleman is never to be affixed to a man's circumstances, but to his Behaviour in them," a limitation over-narrow even for the present day

Could someone explain why this statement is "a limitation over-narrow even for the present day."

Shouldn't one rise above his circumstances vs. adapt to them as a chameleon? 

Act the gentleman depending on your audience?

Hypocrisy?

urban Dictionary addresses some specific points:

Educated - Partially, but I engage in continuing education, professionally and personally.

Well dressed - I'm neat and clean, unless ill and bedridden, shower and shave daily.

Well spoken -  Mostly, though the art of uttering horrific strings of profanity can still exit my mouth.

Scholarly -  hope I am well informed on topics I contribute to and listen and learn from topics I don't.

Being a gentleman has ZERO bearing on background, education, socio-economic standing, the clothes that you wear, it's a mindset with daily wins and losses. 

Don't get discouraged, it's a marathon, not a sprint!
