    25 Things I want My Sons to Know Empty 25 Things I want My Sons to Know

    1. It’s harder to take a punch than to throw one.

    2. Find the people who make you laugh and follow them around like a golden retriever. Laughing is like a vitamin. You can never get enough of it.

    3. A guy who hugs a lot is comfortable in his own skin.

    4. Read poetry.

    5. There’s nothing wrong with looking at porn, but having sex with someone you care about is a thousand times more fun.

    6. When you feel like crying, for joy or out of pain, let 'er rip. If you don’t get those tears out, they will calcify in your chest and make it harder to love as fully and deeply as you would like to.

    7. Crank the tunes when you have to clean the house.

    8. Look deeply into the eyes of the one you are falling for to get a glimpse of his or her soul.

    9. Spend a chunk of time every year with people who are much less fortunate than you are. It will fill your heart with gratitude.

    10. Never lie about anything really important. The first lie will cause you to have to lie again and again to cover up the truth. And each time you’ll chip away an important piece of yourself.

    11. Find work that makes you happy. If you can change the world in the process all the better.

    12. If you get the chance to travel across the country or across the globe, take it. You will learn way more from people who are different from you than the ones who are the same.

    13. Doing nothing is better than doing the wrong thing. But you are going to make mistakes. Tons of them. The real question is what you will learn from them.

    14. Don’t be in any rush to get married. Divorce really sucks. A good marriage can start when you’re 21 or 61.

    15. There’s nothing wrong with a Cuban cigar once in a while.

    16. Money and power look good, but they won’t fill your being with joy the way your family will.

    17. If you like guys, I will fight for your ability to have equal rights in every way.

    18. Find a way to move your body that gives you pleasure. You don’t have to be an athlete to be a man, but your body is a temple and you need to care for it, enjoy it, and use it to express yourself.

    19. Drinking can be fun in moderation. Just make sure to ask for help if you find yourself blacking out or doing things you regret.

    20. Radical honesty will get you very far in this world. Most people don’t have the guts to speak their mind, regardless of the consequences.

    21. Always give your spouse birthday presents in bed.

    22. Find a spirituality that you can wear like a loose coat that keeps you warm no matter the weather. God should provide you comfort not make you feel ashamed of yourself.

    23. Sex is great but holding your spouse in the middle of the night is one of the best feelings any guy can have.

    24. Live passionately. Dream big. Don’t back down.

    25. Always remember I love you, no matter what happens. You cannot lose me. I will always be there.

    Hugs to you Tony...if only all the good sons, such as yourself, had fathers deserving of their greatness. You are an amazing man with a lot to teach all the youngsters in your life. That speaks volumes about your character. Not many childless men would pause to take note of such a nice list!
