A conversation yesterday yielded one of the most inspiring anecdotes I have heard in a while...
This past winter my girlfriend was getting ready with her brother and mother to go out on a family excursion. Being a particularly cold day, everyone was dressing warmly for the occasion with boots and jackets. As my friend stood up from pulling on her knee high leather boots, she looked behind her to see her brother holding her coat open for her.
This is indeed a sign of a true gentleman. One who doesn't abandon his values despite no promise of reward.
A gentleman's goal is to make life easier,
not just for himself but for his friends,
his acquaintances, and the world at large.
Because he is a gentleman, he does not see this as a burden.
Instead, it is a challenge he faces eagerly every day.
