Change or Upgrade?

Many people are naturally afraid of change but change can be a positive force in someone's life. It can drive you to do better or try harder. Sometimes you have to change, you have to "grow up" at some point. This is especially hard for most Men because we are stubborn and don't like to be told what to do. There has been times where friends have come to me for advice saying, "How do I ...?" "What is my problem?". When I proceed to give them some advice it get shot down immediately. The excuses are always the same, "I like my style.", "This is the way I talk." or "I'm not changing for anyone." Men have to understand that sometimes you have to change, sometimes you MUST change but since men are stubborn animals I say the same thing when I here the last excuse. "Think of it as an UPGRADE."

Throughout a man's life you should be constantly upgrading. Upgrade skills, knowledge, style, behaviour, health and hygiene, intellect...the list is endless. The man of today must be an asset to society. You WANT to be an asset. You don't need to be a hero for the world but you cant just sit around doing nothing, contributing nothing and having everyone hate you.

That being said, there is no reason you cant enjoy your downtime by doing something that some people view as a waste of time. Having downtime and doing something relaxing and enjoyable is still important. If you enjoy playing video games, reading comics, watching movies or your favourite TV shows, then by all means go for it, just don't let it consume your life. I've seen men that love video games control there lives and stop them from doing more useful pursuits. When it comes to there things moderation is key.

We all have time in the day to do the things we love (nerdy or otherwise) and still be better men.
