To be a gentleman of the 21st century, one must begin with good morals. A man without morals is not a man at all; rather, he is a savage. A gentleman must have a sense of propriety. A true gentleman respects the different cultures and customs of those surrounding him. In this ever-changing, interconnected world, a man will face people who differ from his traditions. A true gentleman is able to react to the situations that confront him quickly and appropriately. That being said, a gentleman has integrity. A gentleman must not sacrifice moral for the sake of having propriety. A gentleman has the integrity to stand true to his morals. A gentleman cherishes and respects honor; whether it’s his own honor, his opponents honor, honoring tradition, or honoring history. A man without honor is a man that cannot trusted. A gentleman takes everything in moderation. A man without moderation is a man that is weak. The overindulgence of anything creates this weakness. A gentleman is ambitious. Without ambition, it is impossible to be a true gentleman. A gentleman always tries to be his best or the best at everything he does. Lastly, a gentleman practices consistency in the realms of these aspects. He endeavors to be consistent in his morals, propriety, integrity, honor, moderation, and ambition. For without the consistency of these, he is not a gentleman at all.
