Many have come up with their assumptions of what a 21st century man should look like; but I think otherwise. Though not exhaustive, these sure will help. Let’s get rolling…
A 21st century man believes in one God, the Supreme Being, knowing fully well his activities and existence is guided and guard by his God. He is connected to Him for all his pursuits and activities.
A 21st century man doesn't go 'solo', he networks and synergies with other right-sound minds to achieve ground breaking results.
A 21st century man is educated, I don't mean schooled. I mean a total man with full awareness of the way things are in his surrounding.
A 21st century man has a smart hand-held device. There in, is the knowledge in different formats, styles and media. He has it as music, text, audio messages, on the internet etc.
A 21st century man is fully kitted and capable of quenching the fiery darts of the enemies. He is resilient and always ready to get up.
A 21st century man is MAD. You heard me well. He's filled with path-breaking, trail-blazing ideas that have never been worked before. So, he has to be mad to get them seen because, he will meet with oppositions who will fight the ideas. If he expects mad results, he should be ready to do mad things.
A 21st century man is not ignorant of Information Technology. He loves it. Why? Won't you rather love your major tool? Haven't you seen warriors polished their swords? Or snipers kissed their guns? Ignore the internet at your own peril he says.
A 21st century man is a one-woman-kind-of man (Hard for many but truly a virtue). Although, everything around him goes nude (even the chicken suya on Aboki's fire), he always ensures that his heart is clothed.
A 21st century man is a man of his words. He speaks them, means them, sticks to them and follows them through.
A 21st century man is not afraid of failure because he know failure only teaches him a better way to carry out a task. Failure makes him stronger.
A 21st century man is humble to criticisms. Feedback is his breakfast and corrections his dinner.
A 21st century man thinks positively. His thoughts are fuels for his actions. He speaks positive things to himself and whatever or whoever he comes across.
A 21st century man makes excellence an undertone of all his actions, knowing fully well that he has to re-evaluate this excellence to remain at the top at all times.
There is no better thing to be other than a 21st century man. He is an all round sure wager on success. Kindly drop your ideas of a 21st century man. Thanks.
And pls permit me to add to this: a 21st Century man is a man who reads, not only reads he should be able to separate the wheat from the chaff. These days people only read and digest what they see, no test of their knowledge. Lovely write up on your blog and i liked your profile note too. Keep it up.
ReplyDeleteSure. Thank you so much for this. Readers they say are leaders. A 21st century man reads to know more. Thanks for your encouragement. I appreciate a lot. Cheers.
DeleteAnd I can guarantee that only one such man exist: none. lol. Solo works for introverts though. They function best that way (by nature). Well packaged...and good luck finding the fully-packaged 21st century man (according to the terms of the post:).
ReplyDeleteThanks for commenting. In as much as introverts do their thing best alone, they sure need the networks to project their efforts to a greater audience. If you or my humble self ain't 21st century men, we all need to work harder towards that.
DeleteYea, they (introverts) need the all the "marketability" they can get through networking, AFTER they have fully developed their ideas SOLO. I'll post the two comments.
ReplyDeleteYes gotta agree with you
