Dearest ML,
One of my hobbies these days is to read how others become an entrepreneur and if and why they become successful.
The latest article I just read is how a famous Hong Kong record producer evolves to become a fashion designer and create his own brand called "Coolday, sir". Mind you he is also a father of 3 young sons!
Their style evolves Brit chic male fashion and they provoke 10 principles of how to become "sir" -
1. He knows when to say yes or no, but never maybe.
2. He speaks kindly, but always the truth.
3. He expects excellence of himself.
4. He delights in the excellence of others.
5. He is the first to arrive and the last to leave.
6. He is humble because he knows what he doesn't know.
7. He serves without being asked.
8. He knows the real value is not determined by fortune.
9. He is chivalrous.
10. He prefers style over trend.
I found it so true not only for "sir" but for ladies as well (ok maybe except #7)!
Maybe it is time to work out our version of "how to become a lady", in love & relationship, in career and in friendship... :-)

what a gentleman! i need to find me a "sir"... haha
ReplyDeletebut yes, i have been doing a lot of thinking on what type of person i want to be ideally... and how far along am i in meeting that standard...
YES keep the guy radar on and find this gentleman hahaha
ReplyDeleteBut seriously the more you get along with people you will see there are probably more jerks around you than gentleman LOL
It is true we all have our sets of "standards" but I think one of the keys is keep learning, keep observing, and keep thinking what sort of person you would like yourself to end up in, what sort of career you would like to do, and how you would like others to treat you. Bearing these in mind and keep thinking and evolving, I think you will be just fine :-)
Most importantly enjoy the ups and downs of the ride.
xoxo
