Ten things every man should be able to do.

As a woman writing on this topic, I have to think and reflect what are the ten things every man should be able to do.

Putting aside any physical and mental disabilities, in my opinion these are the ten things man should be able to do to have a happy and contented life.

1. To be able to make choices in life that are important to his existence such as to work for a living be it in any fields of occupation.

2. To be able to communicate with another as communication forms a very important part of our lives.

3. To be able to understand another as with awareness and understanding, he is able to relate to others and know what is important.

4. To be able to render acts of service or offer a helping hand to another who needs assistance be it physical or others such as helping others to solve a problem.

5. To be able to provide for his family through the four means stated such as providing a roof for his family and having food on the table and clothes to wear. Basically providing the needs of his family.

6. To be able to bring himself to listen attentively to another and with this ability he is able to communicate better with another and strong relationships are built in his lifetime.

7. To be able to do physical exercises such as carry bags of groceries, take up a sports activity to keep him fit and healthy.

8. To be able to cook a dish, make a drink and simple household chores as he is able to see to his own physical needs as well as others.

9. To be able to read and write for his comprehension of the world he is in and to be able to relate events and attend to what needs to be acted upon.

10. To have compassion for another and is kind to mankind. This would help him to be a kind person and have a contented and fulfilled life.

The ten things I think every man should be able to do have been listed and as long as he has these abilities, he is a happy and contented man as he has the ability to think for himself and it is this very ability that will enable him to make good choices in his life as by nature, man is happy and chooses to be happy in his lifetime.

There are many things a man can do and what makes a man different from another is the way he thinks and the way he contributes back to society. As long as he is able to have a purposeful life, he has lived a great life and that is what each of us seeks to do so in our lifetime.

Should a man finds that he lacks any of these qualities or abilities, he can make a choice to do so or be one who has the ability by working on it towards his achievement such as the ability to read and write. If a man has all the mental faculties but not a kind heart, he finds himself a lonely person and that will not enable him to have a contented life.

Man needs a balance in life and he can do so by first understanding and being aware of himself. Once he is aware that he is aware, all things flow in the right direction for him and happiness and contentment is in his grasp. Life will bestow much on him when he has reached the capacity to love and care for others as much as caring for himself.
