Modern Myths: The Man


To be brave,

yet smart.

To be confident,

yet humble.

To be content,

yet strive.

To live in the moment,

yet plan for the future.

To be your strictest judge,

yet never take yourself too seriously.

To recite verse in one breath,

and jest in the next,

giving the latter more brevity.

To love...

 

Can anyone find such a man?
